Maximum focus on the sun protection specialist and end user

Developments within the sun protection market are not standing still. Technology, functionality and aesthetics are becoming increasingly intertwined, which means that suppliers of sun protection products must also cooperate more and more actively with each other. This is also noticed by the companies within AVZ-Group, which are joining forces during the Polyclose 2020 trade fair in Ghent and jointly presenting their latest products and solutions.

AVZ-Group consists of four specialized companies. They have been market leaders for many years in
Netherlands in the field of outdoor blinds, mosquito nets, patio covers, roller shutters and related products. Both for private application and large-scale project construction.

In addition to wholesalers in aluminum profiles and components Aluminium Verkoop Zuid (AVZ) and Sun Stock Holland, also make specialist in the fabrication of textiles for the sun protection industry Hylas and manufacturer/supplier Of various ready-made awning products Smits Rolluiken en Zonwering is part of AVZ-Group.

"Moreover, since last summer, we have together been part of StellaGroup, a leading player in the field of roller shutters, roller gates and related products," says Marcel Schotanus, general manager of Sun Stock Holland. "Since 2018, there have
several changes in personnel took place. During the Polyclose exhibition, therefore, not only the latest products and solutions of AVZ-Group are shown, but also the (new) people behind the company are presented."

An important aspect in this is ease of ordering. AVZ and Sun Stock Holland respond to this with a digital catalog, which will be demonstrated in real time during Polyclose. And also Hylas and Smits Rolluiken en Zonwering will show their new digital tools.

Develop with an eye on the market

"At AVZ-Group, the customer is the focus, regardless of whether he chooses individual sun protection components or ready-made products," Schotanus emphasizes. "That fits in with our aim to unburden the customer to the maximum extent. Every sun protection specialist can choose the solution and supplier that best suits him at any time."

One of the organization's focal points for the coming years is development and innovation. "To tackle our product innovations as efficiently and well as possible, interaction with the customer is essential. After all: people buy from people. A relationship fair such as Polyclose lends itself ideally to this. During the fair we like to enter into conversation with (potential) customers and end users, in order to identify their wishes and challenges for the future." An important aspect in this is ordering convenience, Schotanus knows. "AVZ and Sun Stock Holland are capitalizing on this with a digital catalog, which will be demonstrated in real time during Polyclose. Hylas and Smits Rolluiken en Zonwering will also showcase their new digital tools here."

In addition, a house will be built at the booth to house the new skylight awning "SolidSky," which was developed in-house by AVZ-Group. A demo format will also be displayed in the house,
so visitors can see even the smallest details of the skylight awning.
At the booth, AVZ-Group will demonstrate the breadth of both product range and support to current and
show potential new customers.
