Winpro Announces Sale of Multiple Screen Express Machines

Written by Kirstie Ratzer | March 1, 2021

Winpro, a manufacturer of innovative and dependable equipment for the fenestration industry, announced today the purchase of multiple Screen Express machines by a major supplier to the fenestration industry. A window screen manufacturer had previously used the Screen Express at one of their manufacturing locations and was pleased with the results of the Screen Express.

The customer decided to expand their utilization of the Winpro Screen Express to several of their other facilities in an effort to improve the quality and consistency of the screen frame product. Formtek is pleased to work with this customer to supply the Winpro Screen Express window screen manufacturing equipment to fit their needs. This plan requires the purchase of up to 100 machines which will be delivered over the course of several years. The first machines were delivered in 2019. This most recent purchase of the Winpro Screen Express machines is the third large order in two years. The first Winpro Screen Express machines for this 2021 order will be delivered in late spring/early summer of 2021.

The Product

The Screen Express is a Winpro product that 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 into the window or door screen process can provide a distinct competitive advantage over the competition. The Winpro 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.
