An established company
Axis was formed in 2008 by the amalgamation of two very successful associated companies, namely Axis (Northampton) Ltd and Automatic Entrance Systems Ltd. Both companies had been trading for a number of years and came together onto the same site as long ago as 2000 with Axis concentrating on service and maintenance and Automatic Entrance Systems concentrating on the supply, installation and maintenance of Stanley automatic door equipment. The new, combined company retained the sole UK distributorship of Stanley automatic door equipment and the simpler corporate structure facilitated a complete service to customers requiring anything from an extensive new facade to spares and maintenance for an existing installation.
As part of continuing development and to meet customer requirements, Axis also has sole UK distributorships for Manusa Healthcare Doors and Doorson Automatic door products.
On the first October 2019, the company changed its name to Axis Entrance Systems Limited. The new name is the result of an extensive re-branding project that whilst maintaining the history and successful links to Axis, is now a more accurate representation of the current product portfolio and services.
Innovation
Axis is the proud developer of the Flo-Motion® manual sliding door system, a multi award winning and innovative product designed specifically for BDP Architects and installed at the new Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.
"The extra-large, easy opening, glazed sliding doors have transformed the way single rooms work to deliver healthcare, with a choice of privacy or social interaction when required, without the loss of clinical observation"
