• Helping Secure A New Training Centre

Window and door fastener supplier Rapierstar is providing specialist technical guidance and products to Profine UK, as part of a package of services for a new training and product development centre.

Profine UK’s new centre is housed at its Nottinghamshire factory and is used for personnel training, as well as for customers. The international profile manufacturer has been continuously investing in its established UK window and door systems Kömmerling C70 and O70, Premiline 80 patio, Legend, vertical slider and Warmcore since it acquired the site in 2020.

The 1,700sq.ft training and development centre will incorporate a wide range of specialist equipment.

As part of its support, Rapierstar has also helped in the development of profine UK’s new advanced flush sash window for the Kömmerling C70 & O70 system. The system delivers high standards of security and thermal performance, in addition to strong visual appeal, with a build quality that Rapierstar fasteners have assisted with.

Rapierstar is supporting all profine’s technical managers too by supplying them with fully equipped screw cases, complete with the full suite of StarPVCU fasteners. These provide the engineers with all the fasteners they need to assist customers during their visits to factories and hardware fit-ups.

 “Our new centre is expertly equipped to be a valuable facility for the development of products, whether it is a new concept or improving an existing product. Ultimately it will help us ensure our products will meet the high standards that our customers have come to expect.”

– Phil Brown 

R&D manager, Profine UK

“Rapierstar’s fastener expertise has been extremely important to us, both in terms of setting up the centre and their ongoing support with product development. We want to ensure we specify the correct fasteners with our products and Rapierstar’s technical specialists have helped us to do that. Rapierstar have such a wide variety of fasteners in their range, that they can cover every type of application.”
