The Thor Barrier |
|
|||||||||
 |
Thor – Norse God and member of the Avengers is renowned for his incredible strength.
|
As strong as any Norse God. Reinforced with metal interior tubes and attached to two 28 kg feet, this has to be the strongest Barrier there is.
|
 |
 |
Thor is also renowned for summoning lightning bolts with the help of his mighty hammer, Mjolnir.
|
No need for a magic hammer, Melba Swintex has invested heavily in high-tech machinery so that we can offer LIGHTNING FAST production & lead times.
|
 |
 |
As mighty as Thor is, and he is mighty, he is even MIGHTIER when he works with his friends the Avengers.
|
Just like Thor, this barrier values his friends and it connects together using the high strength Thor Hook.
|
 |
 |
Thor brings the power of the storm.
|
When the storm hits, this barrier is not moving!

In Case You Missed it…Here’s a run down of the end of year at Melba Swintex |
|
With fantastic new products, stunning lead times and standard items constantly replenished and kept in stock, it’s no wonder we are so busy. We therefore should look back on the year so far to see where the time has gone.
|
 |
JulyIn July we saw the release of the Tuff Anti Trip Foot the fourth in the series of our Barrier Feet. The Tuff Foot and the Tuff Anti-Trip Foot are compatible with the Olympic, Tuff, and Vision barriers from Melba Swintex. |
AugustDuring August, we announced the launch of the New Utility Barrier onto the Traffic Management market. The Utility Barrier comes in either a 750mm or a 1m version. This has been our most successful product launch to date, meaning investment in more tooling to keep up with demand within a month of launch. Colour coding and embossing flexibility gives us a huge edge on the competition. |
 |
 |
SeptemberMelba Swintex gets the Kitemark for its entire range of cones. This mark of quality is now branded on our products and means you can expect top quality every time. We are the only company in the UK with Kitemarked cones. |
OctoberIn October we sneakily hinted at a new bin in our Litterbin range. We are pleased to say it has now been launched, and the Darcy Litterbin is our first Keyless Bin in the range.
|
 |
 |
NovemberMelba Swintex were proud to announce in November that the new Utility Barrier that hit the market just under a few months ago, has been officially approved for use by Openreach, a BT Business Group. |
DecemberOur Safety Utility Barrier nicknamed the Buzz Barrier has now hit the American market and has proved a huge success, and no doubt will be as popular on that side of the pond as it it is on this one. |

| Melba Swintex is Flying the Kitemark™ |
|
During the past few months, Melba Swintex has had its Traffic Cone range put through tough and vigorous testing. These tests have been conducted by BSI, the national standards body of the United Kingdom, to the technical standards set out within their publications, these of which are recognised globally as the definition and guidelines of all Temporary Traffic Cones. Its now official we have the BSI Kitemark™ for our range of cones.
|
| Don’t Compromise on Quality.
Ensure the Traffic Cones you use carry the symbol of Quality. Look for both the Melba Swintex name, and the BSI Kitemark™ to fully guarantee a top quality product.
|
 |
 |
Keep it Real – Make it Melba Swintex
Melba Swintex has always had pride in the quality of its products, and has become recognised as the royal brand of Temporary Traffic Management. Now with the approval of an externally certified body, you can trust that the Melba Swintex Cone range will always get the job done.
|
|
As the standards published by the BSI are publicly available, any company can state claims of compliance to a standard for their product. However, these claims are often not validated by an independent organisation. The Kitemark™ on the Melba Swintex Cone range gives you the complete reassurance that it is regularly tested by BSI and meets the requirements of the standard. Read more about the Kitemark to fully understand its true significance. |

No Rising from the Ashes This Time
Relying on suppliers of the all metal Phoenix resulted in longer lead times, therefore we are moving away from the use of metal, and will focus on a completely plastic Litter Bin range.
|
| Manufacture Local
All of the Melba Swintex Litter Bin Range is now manufactured on site, and are available in a wide selection of colours. Company Branding can also be included on the each product.
|
 |
|
There will soon be a new member to the Litter Bin Range, so keep an eye out for it! |

The Postman system made its way onto our customer’s doorsteps. The system has proved to be a great success due to increasing demand & demanding lead times on the market. The Postman takes the current temporary barrier system within utility works, and updates it by implementing a range of innovative features & increasing its strength and durability. |

We caught a short flight over to Amsterdam for a week to showcase at the Intertraffic Exhibition. This event allowed us to network into areas we had previously never ventured, and opened up doors to new opportunities, and friendships. This also allowed us to speak to consumers one-to-one and get feedback on our services.

The New 250mm High Reflective Vision Barrier made for the European Market
|
 |
Why 250mm?Various Standards in many European countries specify a depth of a minimum of 250mm for the top reflective area, and why not have a more reflective product? It’s safer for everyone. The spindles can even be made reflective for extra, extra visibility.

Corporate Colours & IdentityCorporate identity is as important on the roadside as it is on high-visibility garments. The EuroVision can be colour coded, and/or embossed, to suit your corporate identity. We can match Pantone references, which can make your brand identity stand out and creates an increased reduction in Barriers being stolen or misappropriated.
