EDGE Architectural Ecosystem allows Australian manufacturer to extrude aluminium profiles of choice

Leading Australian provider of aluminium window and door framing suites, EDGE Architectural has expanded its framing suites with the EDGE Ecosystem, a community of people, organizations, suppliers, processes and elements interacting to create a network of support.

This ecosystem includes EDGE Consult for technical and specification consultation; Team EDGE providing quoting, ordering and manufacturing support for the fabricator; extruding with tight process management and strict standards of quality control; surface finishing for the final touch; components suppliers ensuring the highest standards of quality and customer service; innovation through collaboration; and a responsive, reliable, local and supported supply chain.

EDGE Architectural partners with some of the best Australian suppliers to ensure reliable delivery dates and a stable supply chain. Team EDGE works with the customer to produce material in a timely fashion to meet project deadlines, and also with their suppliers for responsive and reliable delivery. This ecosystem allows EDGE to extrude aluminium profiles to length or deliver special finishes.

The strategic nature of the EDGE ecosystem gives the company enormous capacity and great flexibility in meeting their customers’ needs. For instance, EDGE has access to six powder coat lines and three anodising lines while maximising the capacity of two local aluminium extrusion partners. EDGE has the ability to be agile and responsive for large, custom or short notice projects. Supply chain management ensures delivery of window and door framing systems on time.

Team EDGE works with the client’s designers, facade engineers and fabricators throughout the project lifecycle leading to cost savings and time savings from specification of the correct suite to fit the performance and aesthetic requirements of the project; fast delivery of performance window systems; zero time lost from ‘on the water’ delivery; staging of system delivery, when appropriate; just-in-time delivery, when appropriate; elimination of waste and over-production; and reduction of lost ‘tools down’ time, stock levels and stress.
