Unlikely source seals the deal for Union Industries

A recommendation from an unlikely source has helped Union Industries secure work at Leeds-based FTL Seals Technology Ltd.

Union Industries, the market leading manufacturer of industrial Fast Roller Doors is keeping external weather conditions away with the installation of one of its Bulldoors, after a competitor recommended that based on quality, Union had the best product for the installation.

The 4.0m wide x 4.5m high Bulldoor, which opens automatically at approximately 1.6m per second, is ideal for high use external openings and will also help FTL prevent any unauthorised access to its Goods In area.

In common with the other doors in the range, the Bulldoor also features Union’s highly-regarded ‘Crash-Out’ and ‘Auto-Reset’ damage protection facility which ensures the door remains operable if the heavy duty steel composite bottom beam is hit by a vehicle.

FTL Technology is a sealing specialist providing a complete design, development and manufacturing service across all industry sectors. FTL’s fully engineered sealing solutions, combined with responsive service and technical expertise, add value to product or process by optimizing operational performance.

Paul Chable, Senior Technical Sales Engineer at Union Industries, said: “We’ve known for a long time that customers commonly regard our high speed doors as the best in industry, and after our latest installation, it would appear our competitors have accepted this too! Some of our Bulldoors complete more than 1m cycles per year and are widely used in a number of industries, so they are very well known and highly regarded – even by other door companies!”

Mark McCormack, Engineering Director from FTL Seals Technology, said: “The professionalism and efficiency of Union has been very impressive, the time taken from receiving a quote to completion of the project has been minimal, which has meant we have a high-quality door in place before the cold weather settles in.”
