Gripple to exhibit at UK Construction Week 2017

GRIPPLE WILL BE EXHIBITING AT THE BUILD SHOW, AS PART OF UK CONSTRUCTION WEEK, WHICH TAKES PLACE AT THE NATIONAL EXHIBITION CENTRE IN BIRMINGHAM BETWEEN 10-12 OCTOBER - HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US ON STAND B940.

Learn about our time-saving wire suspension systems

Gripple is the market-leader in wire rope suspension systems for fast installation of building services on construction projects. Our solutions save contractors up to 85% on installation times when compared to traditional threaded rod or chain methods. Pre-fabricated, ready-to-use kits, one box of Standard Hanger No.2 kits weighs just 8 kg and does the same job as 150 kg of threaded rod and channel. Couple that with a 95% embodied CO2 saving when switching from threaded rod to Gripple wire rope and the argument for using Gripple on all future projects is a compelling one.

Discover our brand new product ranges for the first time

We pride ourselves on our ability to turn customer problems into new solutions and have an enduring commitment to new product innovation. We regularly improve our existing product ranges and expand into new applications, and 2017 is no different. We'll be showcasing new products for MEP, architectural and acoustic applications for the first time at UK Construction Week, which will deliver further time and labour savings to your next project.

Meet the team

We have 37 people in the UK sales team. In fact, we've worked out that an area sales manager is never more than an hour away from a project site. As such, we're well placed to provide on-site technical consultations and ongoing support. Members of our UK team will be on the stand throughout UK Construction Week so it's a great time to meet your local rep and find out more about our services.

Find out where we're going next

We mentioned our commitment to innovation earlier and it often takes us in some interesting directions; our construction solutions were actually an innovation based on our original Gripple wire tensioner for agricultural wire fencing applications - another application where we lead in the market. Since the launch of our construction range in 1997, the business has evolved into more new markets, notably seismic bracing. Another new market, which we'll be showcasing alongside our construction solutions at UK Construction Week, is Civil Construction. We have developed a range of anchors which incorporate our patented Gripple technology and are used in soil retention and slope stabilisation markets. Join us on the stand and you'll learn more about the versatility of the Gripple solutions and where our innovations may take us in the future.
