Hörmann supplies doors to Asda
December 1st 2006

The development of Asda's new import centre at Teesport, Middlesborough, went so smoothly that Asda has awarded Hörmann with a Certificate of Achievement in appreciation of its role in the development.

Hörmann was the chosen supplier for all the loading bay doors at the site, which is for Asda's first purpose built import centre.

Altogether Hörmann installed 34 loading bay doors, 23 of which were raised using Hörmann's precast concrete dock, a finished floor slab between the dock levellers that allows easy installation of the suspended frame model dock leveller.

Hörmann also used its new self adjusting, dock buffer, which raises and falls with the vehicles as loading/ unloading takes place.

Hörmann's 1000mm long telescopic lip dock levellers were also installed. These allow greater flexibility to position and adjust the lip at all times to a safe position on the back of the vehicle.

The Asda Certificate of Achievement was presented by Andy Walker, head of Asda's New Build Division, who commented: "Asda's goals are to provide World Class facilities to support both our business needs and those of our colleagues – the facility at Teesport exceeds both these requirements.

Hörmann's high standards of workmanship, service and quality product played a major role in ensuring that Asda achieved its goals on this project."
