Hörmann UK staged a virtual Innovation Day, an event consisting of a series of films and relaxed panel discussions. Topics included the new Series 60 industrial sectional door which featured a fast-moving speed test film ably illustrating just how quick the door opens. An animated film of the company’s service lifecycle was included in the service discussion, with colleagues from Germany and Italy joining the Perimeter Systems panel to add their specialist knowledge to the event.
Union Industries has demonstrated the collaborative approach it delivers for the specification and installation of its high-speed roller doors with a project for Recticel Insulation. Recticel specified three highly robust Ramdoors, suitable for external openings requiring a rapid opening and closing operation.
