Super Spacer? wins three reader Awards

Heinsberg, January 2020. The award season is not only reserved to the world of cinema, the window industry also has it, and Super Spacer? has won three awards.

The flexible spacer wins the Readers ’Choice Award 2019 in the category "Spacers for insulating glass". USGlass Magazine, one of the most influential and wide-reaching specialist magazines in the USA, had called for the reader vote. The readers of the Door and Window Market Magazine (DWM) chose Super Spacer? as their preferred window component. Edgetech / Quanex had also reason to celebrate in Great Britain. With an impressive 91.5 % of all votes cast, the National Fenestration Award was won in the "Spacer Bar Manufacturer" category by Edgetech Super Spacer? - an award with which the British window industry honors the best every year.

"An audience award is of course always the best thing that can happen to you as a manufacturer," commented Joachim Stoss, Managing Director of Edgetech Europe GmbH and Vice President International Sales at Quanex. "We are very happy about this trust, which is expressed in numbers on both sides of the Atlantic."

Edgetech Europe GmbH, based in Heinsberg, has achieved another record year in 2019. According to Joachim Stoss, the success of the Super Spacer? flexible silicone foam-based spacer can be attributed to two industry trends: the growing importance of energy-efficient building products and the global shift to automated production of insulating glass."

"In addition, the flexible corporate structure within our parent company, the Quanex Group, makes a decisive contribution to ensuring that we are excellently positioned for the future", adds Joachim Stoss. George Wilson, the new Quanex CEO, knows the business inside out, as he was responsible for the insulating glass business for many years before his appointment. "George Wilson is a passionate supporter of the "Think globally, act locally!" Strategy. Addressing the different customer needs in the respective markets and reacting quickly to changes was and is our strength,” says Joachim Stoss.
