Dalekit Open Day sparks innovation, learning and networking foR the fourth year running

Issue 104 September 2025

Dalekit reports that its Open Day, now into its fourth consecutive year, attracted a “stellar” turnout, reinforcing its place at the forefront of customers’ and suppliers’ minds as a key event in the industry’s calendar.

“Utilising over 400 square metres of Dalekit’s main despatch area as an exhibiting space, we paused production to create an engaging and interactive environment for demonstrations and supplier displays. Throughout the day, Dalekit’s team was available to answer customer queries and supply informative demonstrations.” 

These included: 
• Understanding the different faults of acrylic fabric with recommended WSAA industry guidelines
• How to check measure folding arm awnings and the correct brackets to use

“To further recognise both existing and new relationships with suppliers, we decided to let them partake in their own demonstrations at the Open Day, giving our customers the perfect platform to ask questions and see their products in action.” 

These included: 
• Roller shutter installation by Ozroll
• How to spring tension Zipscreen by Rollease Acmeda

Dalekit was excited to invite new exhibitors Basford Brands and Ozroll Industries, to introduce roller shutters as part of its product offering and launch its curtain program, which created strong interest and excitement from customers. 

“Our goal is to be manufacturing both products and orderable in our system within the coming weeks.” 

“This year’s Open Day was our most successful to date, with 12 suppliers displaying their latest products and over 150 registered attendees.”

“Curiosity from industry professionals and the meaningful relationships created transformed our Open Day into a dynamic mini trade expo event; the perfect showcase for new innovations throughout our 27-year history and offering unique training on our product ranges for customers.”

“Our Open Day aims to recognise and thank our suppliers for their continued support throughout the year, who provide us with positive feedback on the event itself each year. It’s also a great opportunity for customers to capture a behind-the-scenes look into what we do at Dalekit and engage with suppliers.”  

“We’re already looking ahead to next year’s event; the conversations and anticipation have begun.”
