Delivering Project Success: Unitrunk & KLAAFE Engineering Services 

At Unitrunk, we pride ourselves on building strong, collaborative partnerships with our customers—driving results through technical expertise, product innovation, and unwavering support. One such success story comes from our collaboration with KLAAFE Engineering Services on a high-profile project in Howden, East Yorkshire.

This landmark development serves as the UK headquarters for a global leader in the chemical fertiliser industry, and called for only the highest standards in both product quality and installation. Supporting over 180,000 metres of cabling, the project required dependable containment solutions—delivered on time, on budget, and with flexibility to meet evolving site requirements.

We’re proud to share a powerful testimonial from Kevin Shortman, Managing Director at KLAAFE:

 “From the outset, Unitrunk have supported us and our design team with technical support as well as the site team with supply and logistics, enabling us to be flexible with containment sizing and reactive design deviations.

One of the main reasons we were able to demonstrate progressive innovation was proposing the use of Unitrunk’s ZM range, the client has now accepted this range as a site standard and included the Unitrunk brand within their technical specifications.

With all new project tenders, we prepare we now offer Unitrunk products as an alternative if they are not already in the tender spec. The technical support, supply, and logistics alongside, a quality product are a major factor in promoting the product.”

Why the ZM Range?

The ZM (Zinc magnesium coated) cable tray system is known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation—qualities that set it apart in demanding environments. The unique composition offers excellent corrosion protection which is equal to Hot Dipped (aka Post) Galvanized steel. Its success on this project has led to wider client adoption and further cemented Unitrunk’s reputation as a trusted partner in the construction and infrastructure sectors.

We extend a huge thank you to the team at KLAAFE for their continued partnership. Together, we’re helping shape the future of cable management—project by project.
