Posted 14th June 2022
Dellner Glass Solutions has announced the acquisition, under exclusive manufacturing license, of world-class museum display case products designed by Milton Keynes based Armour Systems Ltd for projects covering the UK and Europe. The Armour Systems showcase ranges Nova, Vision and Proframe will be sold under the Dellner Glass Solutions brand and manufactured by two group companies, Dellner-Romag Ltd a specialist laminated glass processor from its 70,000 sq ft plant in Consett and Percy Lane Products Ltd in Tamworth from its 90,000 sq ft factory. Combined, these two established firms have over 150 years’ manufacturing experience employing highly skilled work forces programming ‘state of the art’ machinery and software. The seventy staff in Staffordshire produce precise multi metal fabrications and a further sixty-five in County Durham produce flat, curved and complex glass shapes to fulfil orders in the architectural, rail and transport sectors.
Andrew Gascoigne and Yvette Crowley, Directors of Armour Systems Ltd said; “The principles and values instilled in the Dellner Glass Solutions culture align perfectly with ours, and this license agreement allows us to focus on system design, prototyping and development as our existing technical, production and installation teams themselves transfer across to the Dellner Glass Solutions teams. It’s a terrific partnership and great news for showcase buyers working on projects in the UK, Europe and the Middle East ”
Adam Shaylor, Head of Sales UK & EMEA at Dellner Glass Solutions Architectural Division said; “This agreement marks a significant achievement for Dellner Group as we launch Dellner Glass Solutions as an innovative glass manufacturing brand.

We are proud to represent the Armour Systems brand and bring these showcase products into the Dellner family.”
