Fetra is proud to announce that they have become the latest member of the Association of Fencing Industries (AFI), marking a significant step in their commitment to advancing fencing standards and innovation across the UK. This news was first shared by the AFI here.
Fetra, a UK-developed brand, offers cutting-edge fencing systems that set new industry benchmarks in sectors such as agriculture, forestry, rail, and highways infrastructure. Known for their strength, versatility, and sustainability, Fetra’s solutions are engineered to meet the evolving needs of these critical industries.
The decision to join the AFI aligns with Fetra’s recognition of the challenges and changes within the fencing industry, particularly the AFI’s efforts to address the longevity issues of timber since its treatment change in 2006. The AFI’s proactive lobbying for metal posts in the FG schemes and the inclusion of steel in British Standards, with further amendments planned to include automatic clipping posts, resonates strongly with Fetra’s vision for durable and sustainable fencing solutions.
Fetra’s collaboration with StowAg, their official UK stockist, represents a significant milestone. Recently, Fetra showcased its flagship range of metal fencing systems to the public for the first time, highlighting the system’s patented quick-release clips, strainer components, and intermediate posts. This event marked a pivotal moment in the company’s journey, introducing the market to a British-made fencing solution built to last.
Bruce Griffiths, StowAg’s fencing and sales expert, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “I’m incredibly proud of our collaboration with Fetra and thrilled with the public’s response to the range’s exceptional engineering and design. Our goal is to provide customers with a metal fencing solution that stands the test of time – and Fetra delivers on that promise.”
The AFI’s work to elevate fencing standards across all sectors, particularly in agriculture through the Agricultural Fencing Association subcommittee, is an important part of Fetra’s commitment to quality. The AFI’s initiatives, including their Best Practice Days, the UK Fencing Awards, and the upcoming FenceX Show, solidify their role as the leading voice in the fencing industry, bridging the gap between suppliers and contractors.
As Fetra launches its new range to the fencing market, they will proudly display the AFI logo, underscoring the shared values and professionalism of both organisations.
