CELEBRATING INNOVATION, PARTNERSHIP AND PERFORMANCE – WINKHAUS NAMED FINALIST IN SIX NFA 2025 CATEGORIES
The NFA’s are an incredible opportunity to recognise and celebrate the achievements and innovations of our industry, as a main sponsor we’d like to extend our best wishes to all the finalists. The continued growth in both nominations and votes cast highlights the importance of the NFA’s as the fairest and most inclusive awards, designed to recognize and reward the very best of our sector. We’re thrilled to be nominated across six categories this year, showcasing the strength of our product development, collaboration, and ongoing commitment to innovation. Our shortlisted entries reflect three standout areas: the autoLock AV4, our aluPilot fitting system, and our 3rd party certified Fire Doorset solutions. autoLock AV4, Where Innovation Meets Every day Ease The AV4 has secured nominations in three categories: Door Component of the Year, Best Use of Video, and Digital Marketing Campaign of the Year , having won the latter in 2024. Since its launch in 2023, autolock AV4 continues to stand out as the intelligent choice for doors that perform, whatever the conditions. What makes AV4 different is that it continues to work when others fail. As Vince, one of the homeowners featured in our end user research film, put it: “You can see over time how warping makes locking harder. With AV4, I know my sister, who has a muscle-wasting condition, can always
use her front door safely and independently.”
The AV4 design eliminates the need for excessive force, prevents operational issues caused by thermal movement, and reduces call-outs for installers, homeowners, landlords and housing providers. Our video campaign captured authentic stories from real users and helped showcase the real- world value of AV4 for every link in the chain, from fabricators and installers to homeowners and tenants. All our testimonial videos are available for our customers to download and use to showcase the benefits of of the autoLock AV4. aluPilot – Intelligent Simplicity for Aluminium Windows Shortlisted in the Window Component of the Year category, the aluPilot aluminium window fitting system exemplifies how smart engineering can simplify fabrication and inventory management, without compromising performance. aluPilot is tailored into a one-box system that transforms the aluminium window manufacturing process from order through fabrication into the projects it provides solutions for. Key benefits include: • Inventory and Stock Management – Reduces complexity across the supply chain with simplified ordering for one SKU and structured workflow from delivery to workstation.
• Fabrication Time Saving – Click, click, done.
