North West Automotive Warehouse Case Study

Client: North West Automotive Warehouse

Location: North West

Sector: Warehouse and Logistics

Products Used: A variety of EFAFLEX doors across their facility

Problem Solved: Speed and reliability

This is a long-standing customer who have had many EFAFLEX doors installed over the last 15 years.

They are a well-known, prestigious car designer and manufacturer that is synonymous with quality and performance. They operate at the luxury end of the car market with models that include SUVs, convertibles, and saloons.

Their manifesto is similar to EFAFLEX by outlining their commitment to becoming the world’s most sustainable luxury automotive brand.

What fast action industrial doors did they choose?

During their 15-year relationship with EFAFLEX, this client has required a variety of door types which include the EFA-STT®-L (spiral turbo door), EFA-SST (insulated), and fabric roll-up.

Some of our projects have involved older, slower, less energy efficient roller shutter doors from other manufacturers being replaced with EFAFLEX alternatives.

Each project starts with a comprehensive site survey completed by the regional account manager who is well known to the client. He looks at the specific needs of the environment to advise on the most suitable EFAFLEX solution. These have included a combination of both spiral design and fabric roll-up door types.

What benefits will this fast action door deliver?

Speed of logistics, user safety, energy efficiency, and minimised downtime are the common benefits that the EFAFLEX door range delivers for this customer.

Alternative fabric roll-up doors have quickly become worn or damaged. EFAFLEX fabric doors carry the same brand quality and reliability as our spiral range, giving customers peace of mind that costly downtimes to hectic manufacturing schedules will be minimised.

What are the key benefits of this specific door?

The EFAFLEX range of doors are each designed to cater for specific niche needs but all feature common benefits;

  • Increasing user safety with our range of sensors and automation methods
  • Improving energy efficiency with reduced door “keep open” times
  • Reliability due to the quality materials used and the 50-year product design heritage
