How Mestre Raposa International® will change the French Market of Windows and Doors
For a win-win partnership for the benefit of our B2B partners
At Mestre Raposa International®, we believe that the wood and wood-aluminium window market is overvalued. It’s time to shake up the sales methods that have long been used in the French market and opt instead for better business partnerships and competitive prices for professionals in the area, who will also benefit from simplified working procedures.
In France, the entire construction and building materials trade sector is known for its convergence. Manufacturers of wood and wood-aluminium windows still use the traditional building materials trade in their distribution channel in most cases and find themselves trapped in long-standing distribution structures.
It’s hard to get rid of these old systems, because changing former commercial partners for your own direct distribution channels is discouraging. This is one of the reasons why a margin of at least 20% is still paid to retailers, making the window market more expensive in France. Selling windows through traditional channels is also not very advantageous; it is increasingly difficult to find suitable suppliers with sufficient staff and knowledge of the sector. While products are generally manufactured in standard sizes, distribution is highly complex. These factors also have a negative effect on the final price that customers pay for wooden windows.
We have the solution!
Mestre Raposa International® offers a coherent alternative for eliminating the waste associated with unnecessary work and sales procedures. The term waste is always used when costly activities have no direct influence on the added value of the finished product.
Efficiency in all business processes and entrepreneurial profitability are at the heart of all our considerations.
Thanks to simple processes, in terms of high-quality manufacture of wooden and wood-aluminium windows and doors, using ultra-modern CNC production machines from the German giant Weinig, Mestre Raposa International® is able not only to reproduce all possible window shapes and styles, but also to produce very large quantities, which has a positive influence on price while maintaining flawless product quality for the benefit of its B2B partners.
Wooden windows, balcony doors, entrance doors, lift-and-slide doors and folding doors are all part of our wide range of products in standard profiles available in 68, 78 and 88 mm. We also have traditional profiles in “mouton et Gueule de loup” for renovating historic sites, as well as a range of interior and exterior shutters to decorate and occlude spaces. Our catalogue of wood species includes pine, meranti, oak, larch (subject to availability) and Accoya.
At Mestre Raposa International®, inefficient and costly sales activities are kept to a minimum, but our presence and creativity shine through thanks to a high degree of professional competence. The need for a large sales force or costly participation in trade fairs is a thing of the past.
The Mestre Raposa International® back office is staffed by a competent sales and technical team, always ready to respond favorably to your requests for quotations within relatively short timescales. Generally, no physical appointment is necessary to place an order, which avoids unnecessary travel costs. Of course, a videoconference with our back-office team and technicians is always possible on request. In exceptional cases and for large-scale orders, we can also help you take measurements, and one of our technicians can travel directly to your construction or renovation site.
Our wood and wood-aluminium windows have been thoroughly tested by the FCBA Institute of Technology in Bordeaux. The results were excellent, among the best in France. Our test report, which can be consulted on request, certifies the superior quality of our wood and wood-aluminium profiles.
