The company has recently invested in new machinery, products, and enhanced its warehouse operations following a period of change for the company
Nova Aluminium Systems, a supplier of aluminium signage and glazing systems, has detailed some of its latest developments which are helping the company supply aluminium solutions to signage suppliers across the UK.
Following a company rebrand and several changes since the pandemic, Nova has emphasised its role as a supplier of flex signage in the UK marketplace and has invested significantly in its staff, machinery, and warehouse operations.
Recently the company has installed a Bambu Lab X1 3D printer as well as a Tekcel EXR router and Henrob SPR riveter. The new machinery has allowed the business to expand its offerings and assist its customers with more materials and complete signage solutions.
In the last 18 months the company has also installed a new powder coating facility, which Nova says is the longest oven in Bristol at 7m long. The facility has meant Nova has been able to help local companies with their powder coating needs.
The new CNC machine was purchased by Nova in order to offer shaped panels and aid the fabrication of shaped flex boxes. This solution was complimented perfectly by the riveter in order to seamlessly rivet channel to panels and then powder coat if required.
Speaking of the investment, Lisa Sperring, sales and marketing manager at Nova, says: “For the last 19 years we have been telling customers that we ‘can’t do that’ and now we can! It’s just a case of getting customers to think of Nova when they need a shaped panel, post, or rail sign.”
Speaking about the timing of the investments, Sperring comments: “We don’t think there is ever really a wrong time, it is what you make of it and success will come if you work at it and are able to offer your customer that little bit extra.”
The company’s recent changes and investments are reflective of many changes in the industry as more businesses need to diversify and offer customers different solutions in order to become trusted and reliable partners for increasingly demanding projects.
Sperring adds: “We pride ourselves on our knowledge and customer service. Our sales team is very knowledgeable and if they don’t know the answer then someone in the production team will.”
Nova has ensured that its ethos and beliefs are communicated in its latest offerings with a new website and branding to help to reflect its services.
“Uniquely, we deliver goods on our own fleet of vehicles, using our own employed drivers so goods are guaranteed to be delivered on time and in one piece,” says Sperring, adding: “We’re not just a call centre, when you call for a quote or even just some advice, you will get a friendly voice and the advice you need, along with an email address for the person you have spoken with so you can easily contact us again.”
In recent years Nova has worked with businesses to deliver flex signs and materials for many large rollouts such as the rebrand of Currys as well as the updating of signage for various petrol forecourts.
