G11 ‘GLASS COMPANY OF THE YEAR’ NOMINATION FOR TUFFX

The entire team considers it high praise to be recognized for providing only the highest standards in terms of both products and services.

The company also produces high quality toughened safety glass products to both the domestic and commercial sectors nationally. TuffX has seen considerable growth over the last few years and is firmly established in the North West as a progressive, customer-oriented business. It is hoped that this will be clearly demonstrated when the judges view the on-site facilities prior to the well-regarded awards presentation evening in November.







Manufacturing from the purpose built factory on the outskirts of Knowsley, Merseyside, the company is well recognised for providing some of the most advanced products on the market today. The new premises have also been valuable to the local community, during 2010/11 the workforce has doubled, which combined with the continued investment helps supplier partners. Additionally the national fleet of vehicles which includes 7.5 & 13 tonne wagons has more than doubled to a modern fleet of 14. Investment in a secondary distribution ‘hub’ in Milton Keynes not only helps customers but again creates further employment opportunities.







The company has taken market changes to hand, by restructuring according to current and future industry requirements to ensure premium services and products are provided as standard. Amidst the very challenging economic climate over recent years Tuffx has maintained a firm commitment to development and innovation. Consequently, the aforementioned growth in infra-structure has seen a dramatic increase in both top line sales performance for Tuffx.
