The Ambience range from TuffX has achieved impressive figures this year with month on month growth throughout 2014 as the conservatory sector has gathered momentum.

Manufactured in-house at the company’s state-of-the-art 55,000 sq ft factory in Knowsley, Merseyside, the leading specialist conservatory glass roof manufacturer has expanded the range over the last two years and increased its capacity by installing the latest technology for its specialist glass production.Ongoing investments in new, modern manufacturing equipment has included an upgrade of one of two furnaces as well as a third Bottero cutting table. Based on this year’s success, further investments have already been planned for 2015.

 

To accommodate increase in demand TuffX has also expanded its national delivery fleet from fifteen to seventeen, incorporating two brand new vehicles including a 7.5 and 12 tonne wagon which deliver either to factory or direct to site within a 5 – 7 day turnaround.

Andy Hayes Sales Manager comments, “We put a lot of effort into helping our customers gain advantages over their competitors, with substantial marketing support and a wide array of innovative products. Our continued growth has been achieved through our determination to meet the needs of our customers with an eye on market trends and the flexibility to change accordingly.”

The entire Ambience team takes great pride in supporting customers on all levels, from order processing through to production and final delivery. Every aspect is carefully monitored by the recently modified Quality Control Department. The company as a whole has seen steady growth that has led to additional staffing by up to 15% for 2014, which helps Tuffx maintain a high level of performance.

As conservatory design has continued to progress with radical improvements to performance and aesthetics being introduced, it has generated substantial growth for Tuffx in 2014. Furthermore the company has introduced Apprenticeship Schemes to develop a greater skill base going forward. Nationally, Ambience customers have acknowledged the immense variety of colour options, varying high performance glass options, including the NEW Ambi sunshade blue which offers the highest Solar control properties whilst maintaining it’s true self-clean coating.

Andy Hayes concludes, “Throughout 2014, competition in this sector has never been more competitive, however through innovation, new product launches and the high quality standards offered, TuffX still leads the market in the Conservatory Roof Glass market.” Looking forward, TuffX has high expectations for the market and the Ambience portfolio with plans for further growth through 2015.
