Out and About: EJOT UK Continued from page 46 Centre, it’s clear EJOT UK have that at their disposal. But as the team point out, whilst the facility is set up to further the manufacturer’s R&D and product development, it’s also there to support customers and provide reassurance for them through testing and ensuring they have the right solution for a specific project. The upgraded Applitec Centre is packed with stateof-the-art equipment including a 3-D resin printer to create prototypes, light cabinets to test colour, shadow graph machines for intricate measurements, a Vickers machine for hardness testing and rigs for testing components and systems. The facility enables the team to support specifiers and contractors when it comes to standard pullout tests, complex application testing, ultraviolet, metallurgical and chemical composition data analysis, right through to the provision of data to demonstrate strengths and fastener capability. But alongside this equipment, the technical knowledge within the team and the pride they take within their work is also clear, and it’s a huge bonus for customers to be able to tap into this support. ‘Testing, testing and more testing’ In an earlier article in Total Contractor, Brian Mack Technical Business Development Manager at EJOT UK, gave an insight into the team’s ethos when it comes to getting things right. Discussing innovation and the importance of testing, he explained: “not only good research and development is required, but testing, testing, and Significant investment from the family-owned EJOT Group has seen EJOT UK expand its Sherburn-in-Elmet site so it can further support customers and meet future challenges. more testing is required. Real-life trials and a process of ensuring that a unique, innovative solution offers qualities, performance and benefits, to deliver to expectations on time, every time. Only a circular process of ‘Innovative, design, test, repeat’ can do this.” And it’s clear that following the backing of the Group and recent investment, EJOT UK have the team, tools and are in an even better position to provide that level of precision and support. Indeed, the company has been very vocal on the sector issues and challenges such as the importance of installing self-drilling fasteners correctly and prioritising regular seal testing, and it has developed a wide range of videos and support tools help guide contractors and installers on best practice, plus practical solutions to ensure components are installed correctly and efficiently. This is just another example of the emphasis the company places on ensuring its customers are in a position to do what they do best, and the importance it places on raising standards within the sector. Better positioned to meet demand As mentioned at the beginning of this article, the details are going be crucial as we move forward in construction, and it’s clear there will be a greater focus on correct installation of roofing and cladding components as we look to improve the performance and safety of our built environment. This will place pressure on the whole supply chain from specification right through to installation, and despite the challenges of the last few years, the recent significant investment at EJOT UK has better positioned the manufacturer to be able to increase capacity and meet demand for supply, plus support customers with installation challenges on site, or to create solutions for their technical issues at the beginning of projects.
