Formtek recently announced the purchase of multiple Winpro Screen Express® Screen Assembly Machines by a major supplier to the fenestration industry. The customer had previously used the Screen Express at one of their manufacturing locations. Pleased with the results of the Screen Express, the customer decided to expand their utilization of the Winpro Screen to several of their other facilities in an effort to improve the quality and consistency of the screen frame product. This plan requires the purchase of up to 100 machines which will be delivered over the course of the next few years. The first machines will be delivered in 2019.
The Screen Express® Screen Assembly Machine automates an inefficient and manual process with spline insertion on window screens. This technological advancement in the fenestration industry raises the bar for productivity, efficiency, and cost savings. Incorporating the Screen Express can provide a distinct competitive advantage over the competition. The Screen Express’s semi-automatic process is less labor intensive then traditional manual methods, translating to considerable cost savings in the end and a hefty improvement to the bottom line.
