Review of 2020 and Looking Ahead to 2021

 

COVID-19 has made 2020 a year like no other, it has often felt hard to feel optimistic when there is still a way to go until life returns to ‘normal’. However, as 2021 begins, we wanted to share some of the positive landmarks that Timage has reached over the last 12 months, as well as a look to what the next year will bring...

2020


Our Website

In March we launched our brand-new website, a vast improvement on our previous site and an accomplishment we are hugely proud of. The new Timage site allows customers to place orders online, view a larger range of products than we could ever fit into a catalogue as well as technical data such as drawings and instructions. The website has been a huge success, but we are still only at the beginning. We are constantly improving it and adding new products, so keep your eyes peeled.

New Products

We have launched several new products over the last 12 months...

On Board – The Timage Blog

Back in August we launched our blog; an opportunity for you, the reader and our customer, to gain a better insight into our company. Through the blog you have met our team, seen our press releases and our new product launches with in-depth evaluations of products in our range, bringing them closer to you in a world where travelling about is increasingly more difficult.


2021


Goals for Expansion

You may have noticed in our previous blog with our Directors that we have plans for expansion in 2021. Timage are always looking to innovate, improve efficiency and increase our levels of quality and customer service. We are currently in negotiations to acquire a brand-new premises, an 8000sqft facility in an eco-friendly industrial park. You will be the first to know when we have an update on this new development!

New Products

It may only be the first week of January, but we have a host of products due to launch this year…

  • Spider Hinges – an exclusive patented 316- grade stainless steel hinge for doors, bulwark doors and hatches. All sizes are available in AISI stainless steel with bronze bearings, ensuring durability and high resistance to corrosion.
  • Premium Hatch Locks – our new premium range of hatch locks are hand finished and beautifully engineered, perfect for even the most discerning of customers. Elements such as the optional patented magnetic system for securing the lifting ring/turning handle to the lock body set this hatch lock apart from the rest.
  • Magnetic Door Holders for Exterior Use – a new magnetic door holder that has been especially designed with exterior use in mind. The magnetic element is installed within a solid brass housing to prevent corrosion.
  • CCT spotlights – 2021 will mark the arrival of a complete range of colour temperature adjustable LED spotlights to complement the strip lighting already available. These luminaires will feature the same class leading Nichia™ LED chips with >90 CRI as wells as a range of lens angles.
  • Stainless Steel Cleats – we have some new additions to our range of stainless-steel cleats, all designed by Christian Grande
    • The 9330 is a beautiful piece of deck hardware and a highly functional cleat available in four sizes
    • The 9326 (screw fix) and 9325 (stud fix) are retractable cleats featuring Viton seal technology for durability and performance. Both share the same top profile as the GEM fixed cleat and makes for an excellent pairing.

Shows

As we did last year, we do have plans to attend shows this year including the Southampton Boat Show and the Cruise Ship Interiors Expo. We hope that the second half of 2021 will see the UK in a position to host events like this so that we are able to interact face to face with our customers once again and display our market leading products once more.

 

We would like the thank all our customers for their continued support during this very strange time and wish you all a happy and healthy new year.
