Amari offers great products and better quality of service
Apr 16 2008 By The Journal
AMARI Plastics in Gateshead can now offer a greater choice of products and better quality of service following major investment.
After three years of rapid growth, the Newcastle branch at Team Valley has improved areas of the business in response to high demand from both the trade and public.
Specialising in the supply and distribution of industrial and engineering plastics, the business has invested in new machinery, as well as more efficient warehousing. Covering the whole of the North of England and Cumbria, Amari offers everything from high performance digital printing materials, to glazing solutions, exterior and interior cladding, roofing materials and conservatories.
The recent investment in a Mayer computerised saw guarantees a dimensionally accurate finish, while its postforming unit ensures an all round chip-free cut on panels with post or soft formed edges. It also has an automatic cutting height setting facility which guarantees the right saw blade projection every time.
The business has also invested in new racking facilities, as well as strengthening its yard areas to provides areas for bulk stock on a quick turnaround basis. Improvement has also been made to the trade counter and now features additional interactive displays to showcase its products to the trade and public for all their business or DIY needs.
Branch manager Colin Rowntree, said: “After tremendous growth over the past three years, it became obvious that in order to continue to provide efficient service and stock on demand, investment was required. We are extremely happy with our prestigious location adjacent to Retail World on Team Valley. Moving site was not an option, so we have invested in new racking to improve our handling time. Customers can now benefit from a greater product choice and fuller range.
Digital media is one of the main areas of the business. Amari specialises in the supply of large format printing media and finishing products for all types of applications including signage, display, banner and point of purchase. As the large format print market evolves the requirement for new printable products is increasing.
Its comprehensive range of digital products include self adhesive vinyls, paper, canvas, display films and banner for both solvent and aqueous printing, backed up with totally compatible over laminates and mounting films. Its products are sourced from market leading names, so you can be sure you can print and finish with confidence.
Mr Rowntree said: “Digital media is very prominent in today’s market and large part of our business. We are a big supplier to the sign and display market and have experienced rapid growth in this area of business.”
Amari Plastics also offers a comprehensive range of sheet and associated products to be able to supply you the complete solution for all your industrial, commercial or domestic roofing and glazing requirements.
Each roofing and glazing application demands a material with particular properties and a method of installation. Its extensive range of sheet is available in clear, opal, tinted, coloured, and range from multi-wall sheets for heat and noise insulation, to high impact sheet for security, safety and anti-vandal glazing.
It also offers a comprehensive range of products for all types of building and cladding applications including interior and exterior wall cladding, hygienic cladding, roofing and glazing. Plastic cladding materials, in general, are resistant to weather, chemicals and graffiti, require minimal maintenance and have a good fire rating.
“What sets us apart from our competitors is the fact we offer a wide portfolio of products which are always available on site. We also have our own dedicated fleet of vehicles to ensure all deliveries are with customers on time, every time,” said Mr Rowntree.
Amari Plastics has 13 other branches across the UK.
