Mila Hardware is celebrating after it was named Component Supplier of the Year at last week’s G11 Awards at the Hilton Park Lane Hotel.

When Sliders UK launched its first ever range of composite doors recently, it chose Mila’s ProStyle suited hardware for the finished doorsets it is supplying to customers nationwide.

Solidor was the first composite door manufacturer to switch to Mila’s new ProStyle range of coordinated hardware in October 2010 and, one year on, is reporting increased sales and positive feedback from customers.

Mila has welcomed the launch at the recent MLA Expo event in Telford of the new TS007 security standard.

Having read the letter in last week’s Bullseye/Glazine/Fenestration News from Ken Evans at Securistyle, I would like to add my support to his comments regarding the launch of the TS007 security standard and recent statements by Steve Stewart at ABS Secure.

Vista Panels has become the latest door fabricator to choose the new Mila iDeal butt hinge for its range of composite doors.

There is no doubt that, like the rest of the fenestration industry, the hardware sector was buffeted hard by the recession, with overall sales down more than 20% from their peak.

Mila has once again shown its flexibility in meeting customer demands with a new adaptation of its Evolution high security door hinge developed specifically for Profile 22 fabricators.

Mila’s Head of Sales Rachel Atwood has posted her first video blog on the Mila website at www.mila.co.uk

Aimed squarely at Mila fabricators, the idea of the ‘vlog’ is to provide bite size sales tips in a friendly and interesting way.

East London based Eurocell Logic and REHAU S706 fabricator Maple Windows has become one of the first customers to incorporate Mila’s newly launched ProLinea Twin Cam Espag on all of its side and top hung windows.
