Door Industry Journal - Summer 2023

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 84 THE door industry journal summer 2023 Automated Gates & Barriers Alucorb – the Stockport-based firm with sole UK import and distribution rights for HorizAL products – is continuing to expand its operation across the country, with the demand for HorizAL gates rapidly increasing. HorizAL is a French aluminium gate manufacturer that’s partnered with Alucorb, offering a vast range of innovative designs with many personalised solutions. Expansion plans were part of discussions between Darren Weatherill - Operations Director at Alucorb Ltd – Jean-Pierre Delanos, HorizAL’s Founder and Owner, and Commercial Director Fabrice Marchand, during Darren’s recent week-long visit to the firm’s HQ in Lyon. “The trip to France was really valuable,” says Darren. “They are clearly impressed with our performance in the UK and can see the vast potential for further expansion. We also discussed new products, expanding the product range, and further research and development for existing products to improve our offering to the UK market.” The meeting in France outlined how important it is - with the support of HorizAL – to expand the UK operation and to cater for the increasing demand. HorizAL gates are virtually maintenance-free and coated with marine-grade Qualicoat thermal lacquering (the highest European standard), which ensures longevity and reliability of colour and finish. The lacquering itself is guaranteed for a minimum of 10 years. Each HorizAL gate is individually made with a heavy-duty framework and is exclusively mechanically assembled, then rigorously factory-tested at the HorizAL production facility before being CE / UKCA marked and shipped to the UK. “The Quality Shines Through” – How Alucorb and HorizAL are Strengthening and Developing Their Partnership
