‘Ambass-a-Door’<br />
invests now for<br />
the upturn<br />
AMBASS-A-DOOR Windows & Doors Ltd is a sister company<br />
to Sprowston Joinery of Norfolk, which was first established<br />
in 1955, originally making general architectural joinery.<br />
Ambass-a-Door makes standard section windows and doors,<br />
which are made to any size. The company’s success and growth is<br />
down to its high quality products and reliable customer service.<br />
Ambass-a-Door sells products to national builders, window installers<br />
and other joinery companies. Despite the recession, business<br />
is steady and it has given the company the confidence to<br />

Power mat 400.<br />

made for a large building company.<br />
prepare for the upturn. The company’s enquiry<br />
level is encouraging and there is a<br />
positive attitude for the company’s future,<br />
so in April, Ambass-a-Door installed a<br />
Weinig new generation Powermat 400<br />
moulder (P400) to increase production<br />
efficiency.<br />
The Powermat 400 features a memory<br />
system for quick set-up and provides the<br />
facility to use existing or new, much<br />
lighter PowerLock tooling — ideal for a<br />
first investment in new technology moulders.<br />
Benefits include faster setting,<br />
higher precision, top quality finish and increased<br />
productivity.<br />
“It has since met all expectations,” said<br />
managing director, David Lomax, “and the<br />
saving in set-up time is considerable.<br />
Quality and accuracy are noticeably<br />
near perfect and Weinig<br />
has lived up to its reputation for<br />
technology and service.”<br />
Ambass-A-Door windows are of<br />
the highest quality. The company<br />
has established a national customer<br />
base and steady growth<br />
level. Any bespoke window can be<br />
supplied in soft or hard wood, in<br />
small or large batches. A 30 year<br />
guarantee is given against rot and<br />
a 10 year guarantee on paint work<br />
is provided. Sash windows form<br />
the biggest part of the company’s<br />
production.<br />
It is good to know that the<br />
Lomax family has the confidence<br />
to invest now for the future. They<br />
are a shining light in the present<br />
market gloom.<br />
