A fledgling Mount Maunganui manufacturing exporter has cemented its place in the global roof tiling market by forming a partnership with a large international group.
Global Roofing Solutions manufactures and markets metal tile roofing plants to companies wanting to branch into tile production and tile importers looking to cut costs by taking control of production.
The company last month announced a strategic partnership with The Bradbury Group, an international group of manufacturing companies which specialises in producing high-quality metal processing equipment.
While Global Roofing is still a young, developing company (formed in September 2011), the partnership with The Bradbury Group _ which started in 1959 and has since acquired nine companies _ was a strong statement of faith in Global Roofing's future, managing director Lance Eagle told the Bay of Plenty Times.
Mr Eagle will next week make a presentation at The Bradbury Group's annual sales conference in the United States.
In doing so, Global Roofing Solutions will gain access to Bradbury's 60 international sales representatives.
