National Profiles Launches Exclusive Contract with Spectus

National Profiles marked the launch of an exclusive contract with Spectus Window Systems to the Irish market on March 27th with a launch seminar at Maryborough Hotel in Cork. Key speakers at the presentation to Spectus' Irish customers were Colin Jackson, Export Director, explaining future planned developments to the system specifically to accommodate the Irish market, and Martin Althorpe, Technical Director, on sustainability and current European thinking on energy ratings.

The seminar also heard from Nicholas Cotter, National Profiles' Chairman, on the investment in a new state of the art distribution centre, and Sam Kennedy, Managing Director of Spectus, re-affirming Spectus' commitment to the Irish market. Delegates were then driven to the new 60,000 sq ft custom built distribution centre at Mallow, County Cork, where they were shown the substantial stocks of Spectus. Stock levels are particularly high because 50% of sales in Ireland are in coloured profile.

Sam Kennedy explains: ‘Spectus and its customers in Ireland have been limited in their scope by previous supply arrangements and wanted a distributor capable of significant growth and with the skills, reputation and resources to be able to win and service customers at a high level. Spectus sees Ireland as a key strategic market and needed to find a distributor who shared the same ambition to support and develop the customer base in a highly competitive market. National Profiles has scaled up for growth and invested in a very impressive distribution centre that's been built for efficiency and customer support.

‘National Profiles began selling Spectus last year and immediately won several new customers, including Futura Frames,’ continues Sam. ‘Some key contracts in Northern Ireland for reversible windows were also won and sales of Spectus have soared in Ireland. Now with an exclusive contract, National Profiles expects significant growth in their sales of Spectus.’
