Haffner has been named a finalist in the Machinery Innovation category at the prestigious G25 Awards, the fourth consecutive year the company has been recognised for its contribution to fabrication machinery excellence.
Matt Thomas, Haffner’s Managing Director, said: “We work hard to develop machinery that helps fabricators enhance quality, increase productivity and reduce costs. Award recognition such as this is a welcome endorsement of our approach, and we’re proud to have achieved four consecutive shortlists.”
This year, Haffner has been nominated for its SL8-FF-TR 8 Head CNC Welding Machine, the only machine in the world capable of seamlessly welding all four corners of a PVC-U frame, along with two seamless timber-effect transoms, simultaneously in a single cycle. The process eliminates the need for cleaning or retouching, allowing fabricators to deliver consistently high-quality windows with improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
The SL8-FF-TR is the result of a multi-million-pound investment by Haffner and Graf Synergy and has already been well received by fabricators across the market.
As the UK’s leading supplier of fabrication machinery, Haffner works with fabricators of every size to deliver advanced solutions that support growth and long-term competitiveness. Its portfolio includes new machinery from Haffner, Fom Industrie and Graf Synergy.
With four consecutive G Award nominations and two previous wins, Haffner’s consistent recognition underlines its position as a trusted partner and a driving force in the future of machinery design for the fenestration industry.
Now in its 21st year, the G Awards remain one of the most respected events in the UK glass and glazing industry, celebrating innovation and achievement across the sector. Winners will be announced on Friday 28 November 2025 at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
Matt concluded: “The G Awards is always a highlight of the year and an opportunity to celebrate achievement and connect with colleagues and friends across the industry. It’s inspiring to see the sector continuing to innovate and drive standards forward. We wish all this year’s finalists the very best of luck.”
