What our customers say

ROSEVIEW

“The people at Jade are always approachable, direct and good communicators. They have excellent skills and working with them has enabled a highly efficient and successful launch of the Mk3 Ultimate Rose, to help us maintain our market leadership.”

GARNALEX

“Having worked with Jade Engineering for more than 20 years, I knew they’d find a smart solution to cope with the challenge of carrying out the hole punches, across a large range of profiles, while reducing the number of punch tools required to carry out the task. And as usual, Jade came up with a solution that is highly effective, yet incredibly simple in its design and execution.”

ECO PLASTICS

“Jade have done a superb job. They understood what I wanted to do, realised issues that would be encountered in executing such an unusual task and produced an ideal solution. It works perfectly, every time.”

CLEARVIEW

“The installation has been faultless, including the training of our operatives to use the kit. Compared to our usual casement windows, the R9 profiles are large and with complex multi-chambers and as a premium product they require precise and perfect finishing. Using the Jade end millers we are consistently achieving excellent results.”
