Roto Forms Strategic Alliance to market Angel Ventlock


CHESTER, CT— January 10, 2011 — Roto Frank of America, based in Chester, CT for over 30 years, is proud to announce that Mighton Products Ltd. selected Roto to become their exclusive distributor throughout North America for the Angel Ventlock (AVL). The strategic alliance between the two
companies officially commenced on January 3, 2011. Mighton has a longstanding history of supplying sash window hardware to the fenestration
industry in the UK.

In response to the enactment of Laila's Law in 2008, and the creation of ASTM F2090, Mighton designed and developed, proactively, the AVL as a Child Safety product for hung & sliding windows that limits the opening in order to help prevent accidental injury. The product can be installed "inline" at time of window fabrication, or after market with the retrofit versions. The AVL is available in multiple finishes, both powdercoat and architectural.

Roto has an extensive product line, offering solutions for North American and European hardware applications. Led by the company's flagship X-DRIVE casement & awning hardware, the product line-up also includes NT Tilt&Turn, TITAN sliding patio door, Flip Lock positive action lock, DR10 adjustable hinge, Patio Life lift&slide, and 6080 fold&slide.

According to Chris Dimou, Roto's President/CEO, “We are tremendously excited about this new strategic alliance with Mighton as it contributes to our efforts to provide Superior Customer Value throughout the marketplace. The integration of a quality and innovative product into our existing mix will create nice synergies for our customers. As Roto continues to introduce the new Flip Lock for hung/sliding windows, the addition of the AVL product will align well with our selling efforts.”

Mike Derham, Chairman of Mighton Products, expresses his enthusiasm for the strategic alliance as follows, “After a long search across many USA hardware suppliers, we are both delighted and excited by our agreement with Roto Frank. We acknowledge their history and forward thinking approach and feel they will without question represent our unique Angel Ventlock, and other Mighton products, professionally and successfully.”
