Through their membership with Vinyl Council Australia and the UPVC Windows Alliance, FSA is dedicated to furthering the growth of the PVC market in Australia as it gains more widespread traction. The team is confident in their leadership in UPVC window technology, Mr. McDuff shares. “PVC is a dominant product overseas due to its ease of manufacture, durability, and high performance. While our market in Australia has taken more time to develop, it is now on a roll. FSA is certainly at the leading edge in terms of our understanding of UPVC technology and the size and diversity of our product range.” Currently a team of 20, FSA services the entirety of Australia and some parts of New Zealand. Moving forward, the company hopes to expand their reach into New Zealand and further develop their capacity to service regional and remote areas of Australia as efficiently as possible. Despite plans for growth, FSA will remain rooted in Melbourne, Mr. McDuff says. “We have full time representation on the road, and we travel all over Australia. But in terms of our facilities, we keep things nice and lean. We make sure that we employ quality people so that our staff have opportunities to further their career by taking part in professional and personal development, and so that their jobs remain secure. Logistically, keeping everything under one roof is easier to manage. Our products are very diverse, so their movement from one place to another can be very complex.
