Open House 2 proves a success

The wet and dismal weather on Thursday 19th September did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm shown by the 150+ visitors and local dignitaries making their way to Manchester for the second Open House event hosted by Decorative Door Products and RegaLead.

Following the success of the inaugural Open House in 2011, everybody was expecting another great day, and they certainly weren’t disappointed. Exhibitors extended from decorative glass to composite door partners from across the industry and the globe including AquaSurTech, Capstone Doors, CENSolutions, Distinction Doors, Edgetech I.G. Inc., FC srl, GlassParts, Harvard Print, Hoppe, Inagas, UV-Tek, ODL, R-fit Solutions, VidriArte S.L., and Vikking.

Guy Hubble, Joint Managing Director of RegaLead explains:  “We had more than 150 people through the door on the day with visitors arriving from far and wide to find out what we have been up to since the 2011 event.  It was clear that everyone enjoyed the opportunity to speak directly with suppliers about what they had to offer, and to see the latest product launches from RegaLead.  The seminars proved popular throughout the day and we saw a high take up for the factory tour. Welcoming the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Manchester, Councillor Naeem ul Hassan to take a tour and draw the winning raffle tickets for us was a great end to a successful day.”

Alan Fielder, Sales and Marketing Director of Edgetech, comments: ”Edgetech was pleased to be invited back to the second RegaLead Open House to demonstrate our Cushion Edge product - a flexible, U-shaped version of Super Spacer featuring a multi-layer vapour barrier backing and dual seal design for enhanced thermal performance and improved argon gas retention in triple-glazed IG units. We officially launched the Cushion Edge Starter Pack at the Open House in conjunction with RegaLead so we were delighted to come along and offer our support. We came away with some good leads and it was a useful networking opportunity.” 

Guy concludes: “I said after the 2011 event that I doubted it would be our last, and we’ve worked hard since then to develop and launch some brand new products to add value to both flat glass and composite doors. It was heartening to see so many visitors taking an interest in everything we and our partners have to offer.”
