Carl F Groupco & FUHR mark 55 year partnership

PETERBOROUGH, U.K. - Oct. 27, 2017 - PRLog -- A 55 year partnership is celebrated by hardware distributor Carl F Groupco and renowned German lock manufacturer, FUHR. The company, then Groupco, was the original distributor of FUHR products in the UK and, after significant growth, Carl F Groupco is now FUHR's largest single customer worldwide.

The collaboration between the two companies dates back to 1962 and, from the earliest days, FUHR's extensive range of locking solutions have been flagship lines in the Carl F Groupco catalogue. Six FUHR products are currently featured in Carl F Groupco's top 10 best seller list: the biggest selling line overall is the FUHR 856 Type 3 door lock.

Endorsing the partnership, FUHR's Managing Director and owner, Andreas Fuhr said:

"We value our relationship with Carl F Groupco extremely highly. The strength of the partnership comes from our shared values and history – we look forward to continuing to work with the team to supply our traditional markets and expand into new sectors such as Smart Tech."

Carl F Groupco's Managing Director John Crittenden expanded on the significance of the relationship:

"We have grown with FUHR to increase our offer from standard mechanical locks to the fully motorised 881 multipoint lock. FUHR is an important partner to us for a number of reasons including product quality, innovation and service commitment. Support also plays a key role and training is extensive - our entire sales team has visited FUHR's German headquarters to gain a deep understanding of product features, benefits and how to make a lock."

An extensive range of FUHR products is offered by Carl F Groupco including hardware that caters for all major aluminium systems. The FUHR multitronic fully motorised multipoint lock plays a pivotal role in Carl F Groupco's pioneering SmartSecure electronic door locking and Smart access control brand.
