The partnership between the two companies has worked so well that further projects have now been secured.
Ray Kemp of AM Profiles commented, "Whilst the project is not a large project for AM Profiles, the partnership we have with FGM Metnor is excellent.
Working this well with a customer allows us to reduce our costs to be even more competitive and we look forward to a long lasting partnership between our two companies".
'KAYEWALL 46' was chosen for the project as it has exceptionally slim lines for a curtain wall system having just 46mm mullion width whilst maintaining good insulation properties.
Windows are from the 'Vectra' range and the main entrance comprises of AM Profiles commercial doors.
"We chose the systems from AM Profiles as they have a broad portfolio of systems allowing us to meet the design requirements of our client.
We are also pleased that we can obtain the systems in fabricated form ready for installation on site by our own installers" a representative from FGM Metnor commented.
'Partnering' is an ideal term used when working within a main contract, the 'partnering' between these two companies is working to the benefit of both and the industry would be better positioned if more contacts were undertaken on this basis.
