Holding Steady When Others Go Under: Why Made For Trade Is the Lifeline You Can Rely On

by | Jun 4, 2025 | Made For Trade, News

In the past year, we’ve seen a noticeable rise in supplier closures across the glazing industry, from sudden pre-packs to drawn-out liquidations. For many trade businesses, this has left jobs on hold, sites without supply, and customers without answers. The disruption caused by an unreliable partner can be devastating, impacting project timelines, budgets, and your hard-earned reputation.

At Made For Trade, we understand the disruption this causes. That’s why we’re stepping forward as a reliable supplier and a constant in an increasingly turbulent industry. We believe that true partnership means providing unwavering support, especially when the market feels uncertain.

 

Why Stability Matters Now More Than Ever

With over 40 years of experience, we’ve weathered the industry’s ups and downs. We’ve seen trends come and go, economic shifts, and supply chain challenges. We’ve built a reputation not just on the quality of our Korniche products, but on our ability to deliver, support, and stand behind our partners. This long-standing commitment to reliability is what sets us apart and makes us your ideal choice.

Responding to the current industry climate, Managing Director Bradley Gaunt said, “The UK fenestration industry is currently facing significant challenges, with well-established and once household names collapsing at an alarming rate. Economic pressures, rising material costs, shifting consumer demand, and post pandemic operational strain have created a volatile environment where even the most recognisable brands are facing daily challenges to compete and perform. This instability has left many installers exposed to disruption, uncertainty, and loss of supply chains they once relied upon.

In contrast, Made For Trade stands as a beacon of reliability. With over 40 years of trading history and a flawless record, having never gone bust or restructured, we have weathered industry storms and emerged stronger each time. Our Korniche branded products have become synonymous with innovation, quality, and service excellence, and are backed by a business model built on resilience and long-term commitment to our customers. As the industry reshapes and consolidates, it has never been more important to align with a partner that offers not just market leading products, but stability, continuity, and trust.

Made For Trade is that partner: – tried, tested, and here for the long term.”
