Hoppe (UK) has launched the ARRONE AR8300 series door closer to help fulfil two exacting pieces of legislation.
Guests came from leading distributors and fabricators across the UK.
Roger Benton, Joint Managing Director of Hoppe (UK), explains: "This trip is a great way for customers to experience directly how much importance we place on product development and investment, and how much work goes on behind the scenes in the manufacture of handles".
"Feedback on the trip was fantastic with people commenting on particular highlights like the Hoppe environmental policy, state of the art robotic manufacturing and our visible commitment to product development".
"A case in point is the launch of our PAS24 and SBD certified upgraded Tokyo handle".
"We announced the launch to the UK market recently, but it's hard to demonstrate how much development has gone into the unprecedented security performance of the new version without seeing the comprehensive design and stringent testing processes in the flesh".
"Our commitment to marketing featured heavily during the trip too, with visitors able to see the laser etching process which will be used for branding the coveted SBD logo onto the upgraded sets".
"For the full story on the trip, don't miss the next issue of Hoppe News.".
