The UK’s leading
door manufacturer, Hörmann has announced that it has acquired the majority of
shares of the world’s leading suppliers of bollards, road blockers, lift
carriers and tyre killers, Pilomat.
The recent
acquisition means that Hörmann now owns 70 percent of the Italian
manufacturer, and will now be available to purchase under the Hörmann brand.
The new product
range from Hörmann will consist of reinforced bollards, road blockers for
passages of up to six metres wide, lift carriers for passages of up to ten
metres wide and tyre killers.
The bollards are
designed for perimeter control of private and public areas, such as
pedestrian precincts, parking zones and company premises, as well as in high
security places such as ministerial buildings, airports, and exhibition
grounds.
Bollards available
in this range include automatic, semi-automatic, fixed and removable, and all
come with a matching appearance. An optional Emergency Fast Operation control
(EFO) which lifts the products within 1.5 seconds is available for emergency
situations.
With many
contractors looking for manufacturers and suppliers that can provide them
with a complete solution, Hörmann UK’s marketing manager, David O’Mara,
believes the new product range will complement and enhance its existing
offering and ensure that it is able to meet the demands of its customers, as
he confirms: “Renowned for the quality of our products, our recent
acquisition of Pilomat not only enhances our product offering, but it means
that our customers can now buy everything they need from a single source and
receive on-site support from experienced Hörmann personnel.”
