CiiLOCK Engineering Launches CiiLOCK USA

CiiLOCK Engineering Launches CiiLOCK USA

CiiLOCK Engineering is continuing its international expansion with the launch of CiiLOCK USA, bringing its Australian-engineered hardware solutions closer to customers across the United States and Canada.

It has reportedly been a busy 12 months for CiiLOCK. Alongside continued growth in its established markets, the company have strengthened its global presence though new partnerships in South Africa, India, and has now taken another significant step with the opening of its own US branch.

CiiLOCK USA is being managed by Steve Hopwood, who also works as General Manger of CiiLOCK UK.

Working alongside Steve is Katie Wilson, Product Marketing Specialist, supporting the development of the North American market, while continuing to work closely with CiiLOCKs international partners, Touch of Glass (TOG) in South Africa and Doctor Window in India.

This expansion into the US is further supported by its relationship with WHS Fenestration, a US owned and operated business based in Reno, Nevada.

WHS is making CiiLOCK’s patented Mother of all Rollers (MOR) range available to the US Market and providing customer support.

The CiiLOCK team recently had the opportunity to showcase this new chapter in their global journey at GlassBuild America.

Steve and CiiLOCK Product Design Manager, Luke Overton, joined WHS Fenestration on its stand at the event, connecting directly with customers and industry professionals whilst showcasing CiiLOCKS innovations to the North American market.

For CiiLOCK, the launch of CiiLOCK USA is said to be about more than simply establishing another location.

It is about being closer to the people using, specifying and developing fenestration products, while providing the local support needed to build long term relationships in a new market.

CiiLOCK’s Commercial Director, Simon Jaber, said: “CiiLOCK USA gives us a stronger local presence to support customers, system companies and industry partners across the United States and Canada, backed by the same Australian engineering and product development that is behind CiiLOCK worldwide.”

From Australia to the UK, China, Europe, South Africa, India and now North America, CiiLOCK’s growing international footprint is said to reflect the company’s continued commitment to take its innovative hardware solutions to more customers around the world.
