N&C Building Supplies
“The whole purchasing process was made easy!”
A recommendation from N&C Building Supplies
Adelphi Masterfil customer N&C Building Supplies is a manufacturer and supplier of tile adhesives, grouts, primers and sealants, to the construction industry.
Having begun trading internationally in the 1960s, N&C is now a recognised force in the international adhesives industry, with distributors and clients in over 70 countries. After developing their specialist tile adhesive in the 1950s, they now employ over 250 members of staff nationwide, 26 of whom are based at their UK production factory in Stoke-on-Trent.
Proven Reliability
When looking for an automated filling line, N&C considered a few packaging machinery suppliers, but as their production facility already had a Masterfil machine from before the 2007 merger with Adelphi, there was only one logical company to choose. “When making the decision to purchase a new machine, we were already familiar with Adelphi Masterfil’s equipment”, commented Operations Manager Peter Till, “and it was known to be reliable”. This proven reliability, along with the promised accuracy of the new S5000-S two-head semi-automatic filler, were the key factors influencing N&C’s decision to purchase through Adelphi Masterfil.
Complete Confidence
Prior to finalising the machine order, N&C Building Supplies attended a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at Adelphi’s West Sussex site. According to Mr Till, this was a “crucial and helpful” part of the purchasing procedure, as “it fills you with confidence to see the machine working as it should, and we could see the accuracy for ourselves – it left no room for doubt”.
Turnkey Project Management
Adelphi Masterfil were also able to supply the S5000-S filler with an integrated labelling machine.
“Pre-labelling hundreds of bottles can be such a hassle” laughed Mr Till – luckily this is one hassle which Adelphi Masterfil have helped bypass!
When asked for his thoughts on his relationship with Adelphi Masterfil, Mr Till commented that; “We enjoy a very good rapport with Adelphi’s Sales Manager, who kept us regularly up to date throughout the ordering process.
