San Antonio Show a success for Hillaldam Coburn

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Feb 9, 2005

One of the UK's leading manufacturers of sliding door gear and other door operating systems has successfully taken part in America's foremost exhibition for the architectural ironmongery sector.

Hillaldam Coburn travelled to San Antonio in Texas to show its products to a truly international audience during the three day Hardware Industry event.

The company was assisted in the venture by its USA distributor, Illinois based Leatherneck, which provided some of the personnel for the 'booth'.

Delighted with the business opportunity which the exhibition provided, Colin Brown who led Coburn's sales team at the show said it is the equivalent of our Guild of Architectural Ironmongers and was very well attended by both North American specifiers and professionals from across the world: "We secured more than 50 excellent sales enquiries from the show as well as making other contacts which will help our business grow in the future.

"We have only been working with Leatherneck in the United States for the last couple of years and have been delighted with the sales they have been generating." Hillaldam Coburn's range of top hung and bottom rolling sliding door gear dovetails perfectly with Leatherneck's ultra heavy duty fittings which feature in structures such as aircraft hangars.
