Fensterbau continues to bring together machinery specialists, fabricators and technology providers from across the window and door sector, providing a valuable opportunity to share ideas and explore how the industry is evolving.

The exhibition gave visitors a clear view of Voilàp’s global capability, highlighting its cross-disciplinary expertise, ranging from profile processing and welding technology through to automation and digital solutions, and how these areas continue to develop together.

During the event, Danny worked alongside colleagues from across the Voilàp Group, supporting discussions around the Stürtz range and the wider group technologies on display.

Danny said: “It was a really good couple of days. Fensterbau is always a great place to catch up with customers and speak to new people who are looking at machinery and automation.

A lot of what we develop comes from those conversations and understanding the challenges on the shop floor, so it’s always useful to hear what people are seeing day to day.

Being part of the Voilàp Group also means we’re able to draw on continued development across machinery, automation and digital systems, while still focusing on what matters in practice – helping our customers run efficient, reliable production.”

The exhibition also highlighted wider innovation across the Voilàp Group, particularly in digital technology and customer experience through Voilàp Digital, showing how connected systems are increasingly supporting productivity and more informed decision-making on the shop floor.

Being part of the Voilàp Group allows Stuga Machinery to combine its UK manufacturing expertise with ongoing investment across a wider portfolio of machinery, automation and digital technologies. This broader capability continues to evolve through close collaboration across the group, shaped by real-world customer feedback and the day-to-day demands of production environments.

This continued investment is already taking shape within Stuga, with further developments planned that will strengthen both the capability of our machinery and the long-term support behind it.

Fensterbau Frontale once again proved to be an important event for the industry, but for Stuga Machinery, it also reinforced how UK manufacturing, supported by global innovation and development, helps customers invest with confidence for the long term.

When Coventry City Football Club celebrated its long-awaited promotion to the Premier League with a city-wide open-top bus parade and live music festival in early May, organisers needed a last-minute engineering solution to help bring the event together.

With an estimated 250,000 fans lining the streets and filling the city centre in celebration, Event Support Team faced a critical challenge just days before the event: 135 lollipop signs required poles in time for the parade and festival operations.

That’s when Jade Engineering and its specialist fabrication division, JadeBespoke, stepped in. Working against a 72-hour deadline, the JadeBespoke team fabricated and assembled all 135 metal poles in-house, ensuring the signage was ready in time for one of the city’s biggest public celebrations in recent memory.

Stephanie Tague, Marketing Manager at Jade Engineering, said: “We love a challenge here at Jade, especially when it comes to supporting our local Coventry City Football Club. So when the Event Support Team LTD reached out with a problem that needed solving, it was all hands on deck.

“EST was tasked with supporting the city-wide celebration of the football team’s return to the Premier League with a bus parade music festival on Bank Holiday Monday and had produced 135 lollipop signs that were missing poles.

“JadeBespoke came to the rescue, fabricating all 135 metal poles, and assembling them inhouse within the 72-hour time frame given before the big event.

“When you’re called in to facilitate the biggest end of season party of the City, there’s no limit to what you won’t do!”

Jade Engineering, headquartered in Coventry, has more than 30 years of experience delivering bespoke engineering, tooling and fabrication solutions across the UK manufacturing sector.

Said to be known for solving complex production challenges with speed and precision, the company’s support for the Coventry City celebrations showcased the flexibility and responsiveness of its team under pressure.

“We just finished exhibiting at The Fire Safety Event in Birmingham. As it was our first time at the NEC as Peksan Door, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect, but the interest from visitors was actually quite high.

“On our stand, we exhibited four of our fire-rated doors. Also, the small door cross-sections we brought were very popular. These sections made it easier for us to explain the technical side of our FD30, FD60, and FD90 cores in detail. Visitors wanted to see the quality of the materials inside the doors, and it was a good way to show our expertise directly.

“The best part for us was the feedback. We heard: “We are seeing you here for the first time!” many times during the show. A lot of visitors also commented on the stand design, which was a proud moment for our whole team. It was good to see that our brand is being noticed in the UK market.

“It was also great to have our certification body visit the stand. Seeing them happy with how we displayed the certificates at the show was a nice touch. It gave the whole team a good feeling and shows that our focus on quality and safety is definitely worth the effort.

“The UK market looks promising for our certified and sustainable solutions. We are leaving Birmingham with many new contacts, and now we’ll see how these conversations turn into real projects.

“A big thank you to the community for the warm welcome, we look forward to seeing you all again soon!”

Said to be one of the region’s most prestigious industry events, the ProCon Awards celebrate outstanding achievement across property, construction and the wider built environment, bringing together leading developers, contractors and consultants from across Leicestershire and beyond.

As a fabricator of aluminium and PVC-U windows, doors and curtain walling, Unique says it has become an established partner for main contractors and developers delivering major new build, Build to Rent (BTR) and purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) schemes nationwide.

Its involvement in the awards is said to reflect both its strong regional roots and its ongoing commitment to supporting best practice across the sector.

Still family owned, Unique says it has built its reputation on a focus on quality, service and long-term partnerships — values that closely align with the ethos of the ProCon Awards, which recognise projects, teams and businesses that demonstrate excellence in delivery, innovation and impact.

The sponsorship also comes during a milestone year for the business, as Unique celebrates its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, the company has grown significantly, maintaining its commitment to high standards at every stage.

Commenting on the sponsorship, Sunil Patel, Joint Managing Director at Unique, said: “Unique is currently celebrating our 20th anniversary and a belief in maintaining the highest standards in everything we do has been instrumental in our continued success.

“Our appreciation of the very real difference a commitment to excellence can make means we are only too happy to advocate this quality in others and our ongoing sponsorship of the ProCon Leicestershire Awards reflects that. Good luck to all those entering this year and thank you for making our region such a beacon of best practice for the built environment sector across the wider UK.”

Unique says the 2026 awards are expected to attract a wide range of high-quality entries, showcasing the strength, diversity and innovation of the region’s property and construction sector.

By supporting initiatives such as the ProCon Awards, Unique continues to play an active role in championing industry standards and recognising the achievements of those shaping the built environment — both regionally and nationally.
