2020 Fusion to be ‘phased out’
2020 FUSION, one the longest- standing and best-known of CAD design packages is to be ‘phased out’ after the merger between KBB software giants Compusoft and 2020 in December 2021. The company formed from that
merger, Cyncly Group, told kbbreview that the Winner Flex platform would be the ongoing option for small to medium-sized kitchen businesses across Europe.
“After the merger between Compu- soft and 2020, we have been looking to enhance the experience and maximise the value we offer to customers as the combined Cyncly Group,” the company said. “We have chosen Winner Flex to be our preferred kitchen design platform moving forward and will be phasing out the ability to continue with Fusion. “This decision was taken so that we can concentrate our investments in
continuous improvement for Winner and
scale
support Fusion
our teams. For
leading our
customers, we continue
customer Enterprise to
partner with them and support their solution, ensuring all their custom- isations and catalogue needs are delivered to our same high standard.” The company said the transition would be eased by a programme called “Selling with Winner” and extended access to Fusion would also be provided. Designers will also be able to access previous Fusion projects via the Flex platform as well as import all their contacts into Winner Flex. “Content is still available on Fusion and we are ensuring that all supported customers receive the usual excellent standard
of service and content
support that they have come to expect. We will continue to update the product catalogues for use by Fusion Enterprise clients,” the company said.
Rak Ceramics steps in to help earthquake victims
RAK CERAMICS has pledged its support to the victims of the earthquake
that struck the
Turkish/Syrian border region on Monday February 6.
Rak has joined forces with the Abu Dhabi-based Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation and has pledged to support efforts to rebuild the earthquake-hit region by supplying more than 1,000 pallets of tiles and sanitaryware products for use in reconstruction works.
Rak Ceramics group chief executive Abdallah Massaad said: “Our deepest thoughts are with the people and communities affected by this tragic natural disaster. We hope that, with this initiative, we contribute to the rebuilding of affected communities bringing relief to the victims.” This follows the support provided to the region by other KBB companies, including two Turkish-owned companies, Arçelik group, parent company of Beko and The Eczacibasi Group, which owns Vitra, as well as BSH and Miele. Arçelik despatched 25 trucks and more than 400,000 packages to the area, including food, clothing and heating. It also delivered refrigerators to the field hospital in Antakya to help protect and preserve medical supplies. The Eczacibasi Group supported the rescue efforts with the Group’s professional search and rescue teams and construction equipment. They are also supporting with aid for hygiene and health-related needs, donating portable toilets, hygiene products and 150,000 boxes of critical medicines.
