As their name implies, Associated Distributors are a frozen foods distribution company based in Hornby, Christchurch. It’s a busy place, with lots of moving parts. Owner ‘Tubby’ as he’s known, is tasked with keeping everything running smoothly.
A big part of that is staying on top of the storage facilities, and the smooth running of the inwards and outgoing deliveries. All of our goods need to kept at very specific temperatures to insure that when they are ready for distribution and delivery, they are in top condition. And that’s where the team at Panel Door Systems come in. We have been using these guys for 15+ years now, and we see no reason to change that any time soon.
Our project with them involved getting new panels up in our fridges. They also built a large chiller with 2 big sliding doors on one side with another sliding door on the other side to allow for loading & unloading of product directly to the outside of building for trucks. The largest job they undertook for us was turning our storage area into a chilled storage area. This involved them lining the concrete wall with panel, installing a new wall at one end & then connecting the existing chiller & freezer rooms to these new walls with a panel roof so that the whole area was enclosed & could be chilled down.
We were really impressed with their understanding of our operations and how well they worked under some vey challenging conditions. We’ve been really impressed with the professional workmanship they produced.
One of the most pleasurable things about Panel Door Systems, is how reliable they are in all facets of the tasks they undertake.
Eddie From Panel Door Systems was on point right from the beginning. Their expert knowledge and no-nonsense approach allowed our business to run smoothly without any interruptions.
They planned their work around our busy times to ensure their were no interruptions to our busy schedule.
Eddie says “We take our work seriously, and when we commenced the work for Associated Distributors, we had already gained a good knowledge of how they operated, and were able to advise them on how best to proceed with the work they wanted us to do.”
“We enjoy a challenge, and these guys would definitely be in that category, we had to design, and install our panel & doors around their schedules, these were complex and time consuming jobs, but I think the outcomes speak for themselves.
Tubby and his staff are great people to work with, and I’m sure we will be maintaining a strong relationship with them as their business grows, we wish them all the best.”
