The Company

Established in France in 1992, from a concept originally developed in South Africa for shade protection Aristo has established the concept of site enhancement systems. Aristo's product range provides an attractive environment that enables companies to boost sales and income by making their product stand out from the crowd.

The initial marketing thrust was focused on the Automotive Trade, as the European experience indicated a vast market potential.

The United Kingdom is without doubt Europe's most sophisticated car market and has proved the ideal challenge to test product acceptability Millions of pounds are being invested in car showrooms and often the used car areas, which are a major contributor to profitability were neglected, mainly because a cost effective system was unavailable to "enhance" the sites.


To date the system has found acceptance in most of the major franchised groups and been installed in; BMW, Porsche, Saab, Chrysler, Vauxhall, Ford, Citroen, Fiat, Rover, Rolls Royce, Volvo and Renault sites, the list goes on.

The name Aristo International has become synonymous with new and innovative products, a recent extension is the range branded "Skywheeis" and has been an unparalleled success. This sophisticated form of bunting is an ideal companion for the canopy units and compliments the marketing philosophy of 'site enhancement'.

Applications

Our Site enhancement system can be used in a variety of retail and leisure applications

The product has been developed and tested over many years, to suit all climatic situations as diverse as deserts to the French Alps.

The steel Structures are designed with no central support and a highly engineered roof system with steel cables around the outer edge of the fabrics, adding rigidity with no extra stress. A special process including coating with an 80 micron, polyester Thermo Laquer ensures corrosion protection for 1 0 years.

The canopy roof is available in 2 choices of fabric. Aristo international's decorative shade fabric is manufactured from Virgin High-Density Polyethylene Raw Materials.
Colour concentrates and ultra-violet light stabilisers ensure long life and prevent degeneration from UV Rays. A wide range of colours are available with shade percentages ranging from 40% to 80% and with UV blocks of up to 92%.

The material can help to protect against the growing incidence of SKIN CANCER.

The tensile fabric uses the principle of 'double curvature' and ensures structural rigidity, which allows the membrane to withstand wind and snow load. Once installed it should not require re-tensioning for the remainder of its lifespan.

Aristo Site Enhancement Systems can increase our customers sales area, increase turnover and provide them with that vital 'point of difference' which is so important in retaining customer loyalty.

In addition to canopies we are developing
a range of complimentary products such as
our sky wheels which provide a spinning colourful,
cost effective solution to help our customers
attract new business, with a combination of movement and colour.
