QIC Trims has strengthened its interior building products range
with the acquisition of a high-quality aluminium partitioning system.
The demountable interior
system, which is suitable for commercial fit-out applications in offices and
public buildings such as hospitals and schools, is an ideal accompaniment to
QIC’s glass partitioning range.
QIC acquired the rights to produce the aluminium portioning system
from Telford-based building products manufacturer Libra Systems.
Speaking of the acquisition,
Neil Miller, Sales Director at QIC, said: “This is a fantastic agreement for
ourselves and Libra Systems. We have purchased a quality product from a
manufacturer with an established reputation for excellence. The aluminium
partitioning range further enhances our reputation as a go-to provider for
products that facilitate first-class commercial fit-outs.”
Key to QIC’s acquisition of
the aluminium partitioning range was its fire-rated accreditation. It means the
company is purchasing a product of market standing in terms of its usability
and safety. This makes it an appropriate addition to QIC’s building product
offering. The company’s portfolio also includes ceiling trims, plasterboard
trims, glass partitions and a recently added ‘Matrix-Mesh’ ceiling tile range, with
each custom-designed product an enabler to creating inspiring interior spaces.
Simon Scowcroft, Managing
Director at Libra Systems, said the decision to sell its aluminium partitioning
range will allow the company to focus on further developing its core product
offering. The privately-owned company, which was founded 50 years ago, is one
of the UK’s leading distributors of drywall metal products. Hence, greater
resources will now be afforded to expanding its stud and track solutions for
drylining.
Simon said: “When we decided
to sell the aluminium partitioning range, QIC Trims was the first company we
approached. Their client base includes many established contractors, so our
tried-and-tested product seemed an ideal fit for their portfolio. We hope this
acquisition will open up further business between ourselves and QIC Trims.”
