This exciting collaboration is said to bring together innovation, reliability and a shared passion for pushing boundaries in the engineering world.

Alexander Nikiforu, TOG’s Owner, explained why he chose to partner with CiiLOCK. He said: “For many years I have been looking for a roller that seamlessly integrates with our Aluminium profile systems along with other related hardware solutions to finalise our product offering. I also wanted a forward thinking partner who looks beyond the normal limitations of engineering, as we do.

“CiiLOCKs Hardware Solutions and Customer Support go way beyond many industry standards, and that aligned perfectly with our ethos.”

Simon Jaber, CiiLOCK Commercial Director, added: “Alex and the team at TOG bring a rare energy to the window and door industry in South Africa, relentlessly passionate, technically sharp, honest and always pushing for better. They reflect our values and our drive to innovate. It’s an honour to have such an exceptional team driving the CiiLOCK brand forward in South Africa.”

Both CiiLOCK Australia and CiiLOCK UK will be supporting the Touch of Glass team to ensure this new partnership is a success.

Katie Wilson, Marketing Specialist from CiiLOCK UK concluded: “Myself and the rest of the UK team are excited to be providing TOG  with support and assistance in our partnership. We’re proud of this global expansion and new chapter.”

TOG will be stocking the full range of CiiLOCKs premium door and window hardware solutions, including the Award Winning Mother of all Rollers and the Anti Slam, Soft Closer for Sliding Doors.
