Partition wall systems not only allow users and planners a great deal of design freedom to create rooms in which people feel comfortable and can work well. They support work processes by separating, dividing and defining spaces and offer openness for communication and protection for concentrated work in equal measure.
At the same time, movable partitions create the possibility to quickly and easily redesign rooms in offices and other facilities as needed to adapt them to changing conditions.
Since more and more tenders include the production of system partitions in addition to project-specific interior finishing services, the glass processing company opens up another source of income by planning, producing and installing them on site.
It is therefore ideal if the finishing company cooperates with a manufacturer of system partitions who trains and supports it but leaves it any autonomy so that it can continue to act independently. Karlsruhe-based feco Systeme GmbH is such a company.
Over 38 years of experience have gone into the development, production and installation of its own partition wall system. In addition, many years of experience in planning office spaces are incorporated into product development.
Knowledge is made available
As one of the leading manufacturers, the partition wall specialist offers a partnership-based cooperation to fit-out companies. For this purpose, the interested company concludes a manufacturing and distribution agreement.
The partner company then receives all the documents required for sales, planning, production and installation, such as detailed system drawings, technical explanations and a basic set of samples and product documentation. A partner product brochure for marketing purposes is also provided.
The test reports, test certificates and approvals issued for the system regarding sound and fire protection properties as well as proof of static strength according to DIN and the existing fire protection certificates are available to the finishing company.
In the protected area on the website (www.feco.de), comprehensive system details (pdf/dwg), processing and installation instructions, installation videos, test certificates, certificates on sound insulation, fire protection and statics, and much more are available to the partner around the clock.
In this way, the glass processing company can produce partition walls completely or partially themselves using the feco partition wall system. With the feco system, they can realise almost any design concept individually according to the requirements and wishes of the client and determine the production depth for each new order themselves.
The Karlsruhe-based company supplies the finishing companies with all the necessary feco system components for their added value, starting with the metal substructure and, if required, other glass elements, frames and doors belonging to the system. Products such as safety glass panes, fittings and doors can be purchased by glaziers and glaziers directly from their suppliers.
This is how feco offers comprehensive training
In order for the finishing company to be able to act as a feco partner, it receives product/assembly training from the manufacturer and, if required, fire protection and production training.
In addition, feco also provides the partner with its partition wall calculation programme to support the calculation. This enables him to quickly and easily calculate the feco purchase prices.
The manufacturer also presents its different systems in detail, so that the glazier knows the range of services and can market them accordingly.
Determine vertical range of manufacture yourself
A positive aspect for the glazing contractors is that they themselves, and not the manufacturer, determine the vertical range of manufacture. If they have extensive machinery, capacities and know-how, they have the added value in their own company.
If this is not the case or if the company is working to full capacity, it can also transfer the entire production to the Karlsruhe company.
