We’re proud to share that GfA UK is featured in the winter issue of the Door Industry Journal (DIJ), highlighting how our overall offering, beyond just product reliability, helps minimise post-installation costs and maximise on-site efficiencies.
We also unveil our brand new FX range, which offers the familiarities of our tried and tested FI drive range but with enhanced flexibility to provide solutions to even more applications.
The Door Manufacturer's Blueprint for Operational Excellence
In the world of industrial door manufacturing and installation, a single truth dictates profitability: the real cost of a door is not what you pay for the components, but the cost of fixing it when it fails.
In our latest featured article in the DIJ, we dive deep into the operational strategies that separate market leaders from the rest. We spoke with GfA Australia's Managing Director, Jochen Bourges, and GfA UK's Managing Director, Andy Collett, who highlighted how a proactive, quality-first approach is the only way to thrive, especially when 'remote' installation sites mean a road trip to fix a simple issue.
Inside the feature:
- Learn why transitioning from commoditised components to premium, reliable partners is the single most effective way to eliminate costly site callbacks and warranty claims.
- Discover the strategy of standardising control panels and adopting plug-and-play technology across your entire product portfolio to cut down on installation time and human error.
- Find out how leveraging components with strong self-diagnostic capabilities and fast, expert technical support, minimises the burden on your internal team and ensures a 'Right-First-Fix' approach.
- Understand why viewing your key suppliers as "trendsetters" and strategic partners, rather than transactional vendors, is essential for continuous innovation.
Introducing the GfA FX Range
We're excited to announce the launch of our innovative FX Range, expanding our high-speed door drive portfolio. Building on the proven performance of our FI drives, the FX introduces a game-changing modular design engineered for maximum flexibility and efficiency.
Why the FX:
- The core innovation is the separate frequency inverter module, allowing installers to place the inverter independently of the main drive unit in it's most optimal position.
- Flexible placement of the module helps solve a common on-site challenge: limited head and/or side room, making it ideal for car parks.
- Enjoy rapid opening/closing with soft-start and soft-stop functionality, extending drive life and minimising operational noise.
- Installation remains simple and consistent using our familiar TS Control Panels and standard DES cable plug-and-play connectivity.
