We’ve once again demonstrated our innovative approach to product development by creating a brand new product range on the basis of customer feedback.
The new ‘nesting’ nail clips were developed when a key customer indicated that they’d like to install pipes closer together, particularly where cut-outs in timber were required. Within a week, our in house product development team had identified the solution, created a prototype and put the new product into production.
Managing director, Richard Shaw said: “The customer was absolutely bowled over by the speed of our response to their query, especially when we were able to deliver the new product range within six weeks.”
This fast-moving product development process saw the Ellis team put its existing nail clip under the microscope and review every aspect of it.
Andrew Booth, our engineering development manager, said: “What we needed to do was design a clip, which allowed minimum pipe centre-to-centre distance without compromising on strength or quality. As a result we introduced a nesting groove, which allows the installer to take maximum advantage of the space available.”
The resultant nesting nail clips are now available in our full range of sizes, 15, 22 and 28mm. And although they use less plastic, the carefully engineered design means they have a much better pull out strength than conventional nail clips, and are made entirely in Britain.
“This kind of quick thinking attitude towards new product development is one of our key selling points and, when you consider the speed of turnaround we are able to achieve between concept and delivery, it’s easy to see why so many of our customers want to work with us time and time again,” added Richard Shaw.
