Quantal Joins Forces with Pilkington

Conservatory roofing systems specialist Quantal has joined forces with the global leader in flat glass products, Pilkington, to provide a fully comprehensive service for its customers.

As Quantal's exclusive supplier of conservatory roof glass, Pilkington will provide a complete range of bespoke specifications including Low E-Clear glass and self-cleaning Pilkington Activ™ Neutral, through its specialist roof IGU manufacturing business Pilkington Cervoglass™.

With the new partnership, Quantal customers will benefit from an increased product choice and thanks to a new pricing system, will also see competitive costs and quick and simple glass price calculations.

Ian Cocken, national sales manager, Quantal, said: ‘Quantal's new trading partnership with Pilkington will result in significant benefits for our fabricators and installers.

‘Through Pilkington Cervoglass™, we can now supply a wide range of glass products including a choice in acoustic value, U-value, light reduction and thermal performance, as well as the world's first self-cleaning glass - 'Pilkington Activ™’.

‘Quantal will be able to supply customers with everything they need to get the job done. This means they won't have to source their glass from another supplier and this will save both time and money.’

By joining forces with one of the world's largest manufacturers of flat glass, Quantal's commitment to providing customers with the most advanced products and services has been fully reinforced.

Ian said: ‘With our new system in place, customers will only pay for the amount of glass that they use and in cutting out the costs associated with wastage, prices could be reduced by as much as 20 per cent on some specifications.

‘With a direct link into the Pilkington Cervoglass™ ordering system, Quantal can place customer orders directly and in so doing reduce the potential for errors in both delivery and timescales. What's more, customers can take full advantage of this link by ordering all of their other glass products such as their window glass from us at the same time.’

Although the conservatory market remains competitive Ian is confident that the new partnership will provide opportunities for new business in 2008, providing the right range of products is on offer.

Ian said: ‘The Quantal/Pilkington partnership will make life easier for fabricators and installers and this is what we are all striving for.’

David Storer, Pilkington Cervoglass™, said: ‘Pilkington and Quantal share the same business philosophy and this makes for an excellent working relationship. Both companies are working in a bid to improve product and service options, reduce costs, promote delivery flexibility and most importantly deliver excellent customer service.’

Ian added: ‘We look forward to working in partnership with Pilkington and feel confident that we can now bring our customers an even better range of products and services.’
