WEAVING TOGETHER PERFECT SOLUTIONS AT TECHTEXTIL
29th June 2022, 10.04am
The industry leading, biennial Techtextil Exhibition took place in Frankfurt in June, and Fothergill Engineered Fabrics Ltd., along with the rest of the Fothergill Group, were delighted to exhibit there.
Long known as the most influential platform to explore the very latest product innovations and manufacturing techniques for producers and users of the widest imaginable array of technical textiles and processes, 2022 did not disappoint.
With over 40,000 visitors from 50+ countries, serviced by over 1,000 exhibitors, it has become established as an important part of the TBA & Fothergill Group calendars. The opportunity to meet so many customers, suppliers and visitors in just a few days presented a fabulous level of engagement.
As Fothergill Group COO (Technical Textiles), Nader Midani explains; “The big attraction of Techtextil to our business is that we think it is an environment that plays to our strengths as a Group. Customers want specific, innovative solutions and that is something that can often not be achieved by the capabilities of a single business or manufacturing unit. With the complementary mix of our individual businesses, we can draw on not only the human technical expertise from across the Group, but also bring together some fairly unique manufacturing capabilities in engineered fabrics and yarns, specialist coatings, PPE and materials able to cope with extreme conditions, especially heat and flame.
There is nothing we like more than to be challenged to come up with bespoke, often technically complex solutions that we can deliver simply to our customers – and Techtextil is such a brilliant place to do this.”
A great show all round and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2024!
FOTHERGILL GROUP ENJOYS PARIS IN THE SPRINGTIME
11th May 2022, 8.11am
Fothergill Engineered Fabrics and TBA Protective Technologies were joined by representatives from all companies within the Fothergill Group at the recent JEC World exhibition in Paris.
The leading international composites show attracts over 43,000 visitors from 112 countries and provides a focal point for product innovation, described as “a networking hub of creativity, vision and action.”
It was certainly a very busy show for the Fothergill Group and provided a great opportunity to meet up with both existing and new customers, offering us the platform to do what we enjoy most – matching our outstanding product innovation and manufacturing abilities to solve even the most specific or challenging needs of our customers.
Simon Onslow, Sales Manager of Fothergill Engineered Fabrics commented; “It was actually the first time for FEF at the show as part of the Group and it was a really relevant and busy show for us. We provide various resin-compatible glass, carbon, aramid, nylon, polyester, co-mingled and natural fibre products into the composite marketplace and a large part of our business is dedicated to these types of products. It was great to have the opportunity to share this knowledge with so many visitors all at once”.
FIREFLY™ACCLAIMS ATHENA DEBUT AT NEC FIRE SAFETY EVENT
1st October 2021, 9.01am
Fire barrier specialist TBA FIREFLYTM came away from The Fire Safety Event at the NEC (7-9th September) with plenty of positives to reflect on, aside from the buzz of meeting many industry colleagues again for the first time in two years, with numerous new project inquiries to follow up and its new Athena 60:60 product having enjoyed a successful debut.
Firefly’s technical sales team and Product Manager, Chris Boam, were on hand to explain the key benefits of both the new IFC certified system developed to provide vertical protection around timberwork and established products such as Zeus, Phoenix and Apollo.
Firefly’s Marketing Manager, Simon James, commented: “The NEC remains a great venue for trade exhibitions and we were very pleased with the attendance at this event, especially knowing how busy most fire protection contractors and installers are at present.
Our stand was busy throughout, allowing us to make many new contacts as well as renewing relationships with existing clients, while our new timber protection barrier, Athena 60:60 drew a lot of attention. Overall it was a very successful three days.”
Firefly manufactures a comprehensive range of fire barrier materials carrying the fullest selection of industry accreditations, suitable for the protection of roofspaces and other voids in domestic and commercial properties as well as structures such as warehouses, engineering plants, railway stations and other transport hubs.
