GUK Magnetics high-quality magnets ensure a secure and effortless closing mechanism for FGC’s frameless glass curtains, adding to their already impressive functionality and sleek design.

How GUK Helped

With increased competition in the market FGC faced two main challenges:

  • Rising costs on a range of magnets required to manufacture their products.
  • Long lead times for these magnets with their current suppliers.

FGC partnered with GUK Magnetics to overcome their supply and engineering challenges. Leveraging advanced manufacturing technologies and extensive experience, Goudsmit UK delivered custom-made magnets tailored precisely to FGC’s requirements, significantly reducing costs and lead times:

  • Our technical experts collaborated closely with FGC, providing comprehensive engineering support.
  • We developed detailed engineering drawings specifying exact dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications.
  • Additionally, we guided FGC on critical design considerations such as magnetic field strength, temperature resistance, and durability, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the magnets.
  • Following approval of the engineering drawings, GUK Magnetics produced samples to validate precise compliance with FGC’s specifications. Rigorous quality control checks throughout the manufacturing process ensured consistently high standards.

This bespoke engineering approach enabled FGC to enhance productivity, avoid delays, and maintain budgetary control.

The Working Relationship

We have had a great experience working with Goudsmit UK on producing bespoke magnets for our application. We are excited to continue our working relationship with GUK Magnetics and look forward to the innovative solutions they will continue to provide us with in the future. This successful collaboration also serves as a case study for other manufacturers looking to optimise their production processes, reduce costs, and improve lead times by working with GUK Magnetics.”

-Neil Blunt, Factory Manager

GUK Magnetics’ partnership with FGC was both comprehensive and collaborative, ensuring that they received expert knowledge, technical expertise, and guidance.
