Greenfield, Ind. (PRWeb) April 1, 2007 -- Modernfold (
www.modernfold.com) distributors can now supply rolling and sliding grille security closures from Dynaflair under a new agreement with the Riverview, Fla., company that pioneered the sliding grille and closure concept in the early 1970s.
Dynaflair's distribution agreement with Modernfold, the market leader in operable partitions and space division products, gives Modernfold distributors access to the construction industry's widest line of security, space and acoustic division products.
The March 1, 2007, agreement is expected to open commercial and institutional markets for both companies. Modernfold will benefit from Dynaflair's exposure to national retail accounts, while Dynaflair will gain an immediate presence in key Modernfold markets such as education, hospitality and religion, said Brian Hurley, president of Modernfold.
"Modernfold's hallmarks are space and acoustic management, whereas Dynaflair focuses on space and security," he said. "There's an excellent overlap of complementary products and markets."
Dynaflair's products include security closures for virtually any situation. Since their introduction more than 40 years ago, Dynaflair's sliding grille closures remain one of the market's most popular security closure systems. Sliding grilles can accommodate curved storefronts, variable heights, overhead space limitations, and other design constraints. Meanwhile, Dynaflair rolling grilles accommodate openings up to 40 feet wide and incur no loss of opening due to storage requirements. A wide variety of custom features are available to meet specific needs.
Modernfold distributors will serve as a single, reliable point of contact during specification, installation, training maintenance and customer service. "The agreement will streamline the ordering and commissioning process for our customers because they will deal with one knowledgeable source for partition products," said Hurley.
Furthermore, Hurley said the companies share a dedication to product innovation and customer service.
"As this relationship developed, we looked closely at our respective values. Our firms have a solid reputation for being market innovators and for delivering high quality architectural products," he said. "This distribution agreement builds on our companies' already ample strengths."
