Double celebration
Barnsley based Euroglaze is celebrating its 40th anniversary and its 35th anniversary as a Rehau customer.
The company, which is still owned and run by the Nettleton family who founded it back in 1979, is Rehau’s longest running customer, having notched up 35 years of unbroken partnership.
Martin Nettleton, who succeeded his father Alan as managing director in 1999, says that the strength of Euroglaze remains its distinctive blend of smart and friendly customer service and precision quality products.
The company uses a lean manufacturing model based on advanced Japanese production techniques, and offers a comprehensive range of Rehau products – from fire rated windows and vertical sliders to casements and even the brand new Rehau RIO flush sash.
Martin Hitchin, Rehau UK’s CEO, said: “We really value our business relationship with Euroglaze, and we would like to thank the team for making our partnership such a huge success for both our businesses.”
Martin Nettleton said: “We can match all of the big super fabricators in terms of range and value, but we can easily top them when it comes to precision quality, efficiency, and customer service. Our systems and processes mean customers can take for granted the fact that their orders will be on time and in full, but they also know that they can just lift the phone at any point and talk directly to me or to any of our experienced customer service team and get a fast and efficient response to any question or query which might arise.
“We produce around 900 frames a week in PVCU and that remains the core of our business, but we have successfully diversified more recently and added an extensive range of more specialist products to open up exciting new opportunities for our customers. We’re incredibly proud of our 40 year heritage, but we never want to stand still and we’re constantly looking at how we can improve and develop.”
