2006 Press Releases from Wolf Systems
 

22/12/2006 - Wolf keeps on investing!

2006 has seen Wolf Systems achieve significant physical and financial growth. The Coventry-based business expanded into additional premises, employed additional staff and expanded the team larger than ever before.

When an industrial unit close to the existing two factory units became vacant, Wolf Systems set aside its plans to develop a new-build facility and instead negotiated with the landlord to secure the extra space required. This purchase offered excellent physical communications between departments and gave better control over logistics.

Wolf Systems now occupies three buildings with a floor area of 2,300 square metres, with a further 500 square metres of office accommodation. This has allowed the company to relocate the expanded design and software departments while its old offices have been refurbished to create a trebled training capacity.

Over the last year, Wolf Systems has appointed four new key members of staff to develop the company’s marketing, design, software, production, frontline sales and customer services departments further.

Ken Coulson is the new Marketing Manager and is at the forefront of Wolf Systems future growth and expansion.

Wayne Methven has taken on the role of Technical Sales Engineer and is involved in customer support.

As Sales Support Engineer, Andrew Baker-Kean, is providing internal support to the sales and customer services departments and will be focussing on training.

Another new member of the team is Joanne Flanagan who has been appointed as Software Helpdesk Support and will be the link between customers, design office and the programming team. In addition to these appointments, the company is continuing to expand its design, programming and production teams.

01/11/2006 - Wolf signs deal with Randek BauTech AB

Wolf Systems, the whole house timber engineering specialist, is now supplying equipment from Sweden’s premier timber frame machinery specialist, Randek BauTech AB, in the UK and Eire.

The agreement includes the installation and servicing in the UK by AV Birch, the Bridgenorth-based specialist timber machinery manufacturer.

The agreement follows other significant moves by Wolf Systems in presses, saws and floor equipment for the three major timber engineering sectors; roofs, the Easi-Joist metal web floor system and wall panel manufacture. Wolf Systems is now able to service the entire timber engineering sector with a range of eight presses, four saws, wall and panel equipment and handling equipment.

Alan Ritchie, Sales Director at Wolf Systems comments “Wolf’s commitment to the whole house approach has seen us pull away from our software competitors, widening the gap even further. This is an important next step into whole house manufacture. Wolf has brought in specialists in all sectors of timber engineering including our latest move into timber frame manufacturing equipment. We are very pleased that we have reached this agreement with a superb company whose experience, range and build quality are well known in our industry."

09/10/2006 - New Wolf Man!

The new Marketing Manager at Wolf Systems is Ken Coulson.

Ken is well known in the industry and worked with Mitek for many years. He has over 30 years’ experience in all aspects of timber engineering as well as having a wood science background.

Ken joins Wolf at an exciting time with sales at an all-time high. Investment in premises, new equipment and additional personnel are all key to the next phase of Wolf’s future development. His first week was spent in Majorca at the largest-ever Wolf conference to celebrate consistent success. 87 customers attended and Dr Luke Whale of Timbersolve entertained everyone as the guest speaker with his vision of the way forward in whole house timber engineering. Wolf is recognised as being at the forefront of the developing new technology.
 

08/02/2006 - New Wolf101 nailplate

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Wolf101 nailplate which has an improved tooth profile and replaces our Wolf100, 1mm plate. From our initial testing we believe the new plate will give savings of around 5% in plate costs.

The Wolf101 nailplate is tested in accordance with BS EN 1075 and prEN14545 which makes it fully compliant with EN14250. This will allow CE marking of trusses provided that production is verified by an appropriate third party.
