Orion Switches to SIEGENIA-AUBI

A Devon fabricator is switching production to SIEGENIA-AUBI's Trident three-in-one window hardware system.

Newton Abbott-based Orion Window Systems will use Trident to help create a future proof window system. Now part of the William Stewart group, Orion manufactures 600 frames a week from a purpose built fabrication plant on the outskirts of the town.

Orion's technical manager, Gary Davies, says Trident ‘meets and exceeds customer expectations', which clinched the decision to make the switch:

‘It's new and innovative, it's a highly secure product that is incredibly easy to fit,’ he says. ‘We're always looking for ways to improve our products and Trident's safety, security and egress combination really stood out from the crowd.’

Peter Irvine, SIEGENIA-AUBI regional sales manager, worked closely with Andy Laird from distributor, Carl F Petersen, to support Orion through the changeover. Peter says, ‘I'm confident Orion will see immediate fabrication benefits with Trident. Because it's so easy to fit, it speeds up the window making process visibly.’

SIEGENIA-AUBI launched the Trident last year - the firm's first casement window product - to deliver a unique, three-in-one egress, safety and security hardware solution. A hook and cam combination uses security technology previously only used in door locks to deliver innovative single-mechanism casement window hardware.

According to SIEGENIA-AUBI general manager Léann Hearne, Trident's success to date proves the market was ready for something new:

‘Feedback suggests that fabricators were tired of being forced to choose between safety, security and egress,’ she says. ‘Now they don't have to, and Trident sales support my view that this is exactly the kind of product the market was looking for.’
