Fortus Hardware partners with Rapierstar
One of Ireland’s leading hardware distributors to the window and door industry, Fortus Hardware, has partnered with Rapierstar.
Part of the Profast Group, Fortus Hardware employs 12 people at its 25,000ft2 HQ, warehouse and distribution centre in Belfast.
Philip Gregg, managing director of Fortus Hardware, said: “Partnering with Rapierstar is a great fit for our business and our customers as their team shares our approach. Like us, they have always focused on being a solutions provider, rather than just being a sales outlet, supported through an experienced and technically knowledgeable team, backed with first class customer service.
“Rapierstar adds great value to what we do both in terms of the performance of their fasteners and, importantly, the guarantee of supply. In the past two years, the window and door industry has been severely impacted by supply chain difficulties, so it is more important than ever that we do everything we can to give fabricators and installers access to the best availability of products. For fasteners, we think there is no more reliable choice than Rapierstar.”
Rapierstar’s technical consultant, Paul McAuley, added: “It is no surprise that the vast majority of Ireland’s window and door manufacturers work with Fortus in some capacity, as Philip and the team have an excellent approach to what they do. We are really pleased to have formalised our fastener supply partnership with them, a move that gives their customers easy access to our deep UK-held stocks of the complete Rapierstar range, plus specialist support should they ever need it.”
