Roseview invests in second Haffner machine

Roseview Windows has taken delivery of a second SBA-4 VS PVC-U profile machining centre from Haffner.

Mike Bygrave, sales and marketing director at Roseview Windows, commented: “Roseview has witnessed a sharp upturn in demand in the past 18 months as a result of the continued popularity of feature-rich sash windows. Our investment in this new machine will give us a big increase in capacity and further support our continued strategy for growth.”

The second machine arrives on the shop floor 12 months after the business took receipt of its first Haffner VS machining centre.

Mike commented: “We invested in our first SBA-4 VS machining centre to replace an ageing machine and upgrade efficiencies across the shop floor. It made such a huge difference to our fabrication capabilities we had no hesitation in ordering a second machine to support our business growth trajectory and maintain our quality sash window output.”

According to Haffner, the SBA-4 VS PVC-U profile machining centre is ‘driven by technical innovation and high-performance accuracy’ and is suitable for manufacturing both standard and mechanically jointed vertical sliders.

Like all Roseview’s fabrication machines, the new SBA-4 VS PVC-U profile machining centre has been given a name to make it easy to identify in production meetings. Mike commented: “We name all our machines after Nintendo characters. The first machine we purchased from Haffner is called Bowser. This new one is Yoshi. We also have a Mario, Luigi and Super Mario.”
