Omega, based in Peterborough, and a Spectus customer since 1987, has recently started to fabricate Elite 70, Spectus’ fully shaped and co-extruded system.

Relationships have not always been so cordial between systems company and fabricator. ‘About two years ago it would have been fair to describe trading relationships with Spectus as tough’ says Group Managing Director Rob Morley. ‘It was just over 18 months ago that we noticed the improvement. Service levels leapt up, quality became more consistent and the introduction of Elite 70 demonstrated the Spectus’ long term commitment to its customers and the industry.

Omega is a large, diverse business with a weekly output approaching 1,200 frames with customers as far afield as Hull, Bristol and Southampton. Even the most far-flung customer receives two deliveries a week. Omega also manufactures its own own sealed units and has an affiliated trims and accessories business, offering supply and fit to the commercial and new build markets.

The company also has a thriving retail business ‘Omega Lifestyle’, which is promoted heavily on local radio with celebrity endorsements from the likes of celebrity designer Laurence Llewelyn Bowen.

The next big project will be to introduce Elite 70 to Omega’s successful British Security Window scheme.

Omega is currently updating their show sites in Spalding, Milton Keynes, Coldicot, Huntington and Peterborough to include Elite 70 product.
