For over 14 years, Stone-based Haffner GB Ltd has been supplying innovative fabrication machinery to the window industry. For Dave Thomas, Managing Director of the company, offering the highest standards is the key to success.

Haffner’s commitment to achieving the highest possible stems from Dave’s personal desire to ensure they offer machinery solutions in-line with their customers’ expectations. As a result, the business has witnessed continued growth, year on year, whilst never losing sight of the company’s fundamental values – quality, innovation, and service.

The company boasts one of the most comprehensive product ranges within the industry. Large or small, Haffner’s machines are tailored to suit all fabrication permutations and can offer whatever a customer needs, irrelevant of company size or budget. The range includes saws, welders, routers, corner cleaners, CNC machinery and welding lines including an impressive stock of second-hand products.

Four years ago, the company launched their new SBA Cutting and Working Centre. Within 12 months, this product had become the fastest selling machine in the company’s history and with an order book exceeding well into 2005.

The SBA machinery centre offers fabricators labour savings, improved quality of finished product and cost effeciency.

This is due to the machine’s ability to operate utilising just one member of staff where traditionally, three or more people would be needed to undertake the same amount of work.

In an industry where good service is paramount, Haffner have continually supported their customers throughout every step of the relationship. So much so, that the company work in ‘partnership’ with fabricators to ensure they not only have the right products for their individual needs, but this is supported by the correct advice.

Haffner offer a ‘free of charge’ consultancy service which has been invaluable to many fabricators. This service includes a full manufacturing audit covering advice on layout, factory utilisation and machine efficiency to ensure maximum output for minimum outlay.

For such a successful business as Haffner GB Ltd, it is hugely refreshing to know that their feet are still firmly on the ground and nothing is taken for granted. The success of the business can be attributed to the sound business sense of Dave Thomas, but mostly to the reputation for quality products and first class service that the company has maintained throughout.
