Fahr adds the first audio and video files to it's website
With the ever
growing complexity of the panels and components that are
being designed and created by Fahr Industries, they have
decided that a simple image file is not necessarily enough
to portray what some of their panels actually do.
Starting with
audio files for the fabulous new
Freenotes from
Fahr Musical Panels and both audio and the video files
for the Make it
Rain Panel, the intention is to have audio and video
files for many of their more advanced panels added over the
coming months.

Fahr teams up with Freenotes to create arguably the best
musical instrument panels on the market today
As a forward
thinking company, Fahr spotted the potential to add smaller
versions of the Freenotes musical instruments to their
panels in May 2008, they subsequently signed an agreement to
be the exclusive manufacturer of this type of panel using
Freenotes components. These smaller versions of the
Freenotes musical instruments deliver the same high quality
sounds of their full size counterparts, but are combined
with high quality and well designed HDPE panel designs that
you have come to expect from Fahr Industries.
Russell Funnell (MD) said: we have worked long and
hard to create panels that would not only look good, but
sound good. We originally planned to launch our new musical
panels early in 2009, but we have already received many
requests for musical panels, so we decided to bring the
launch forward.

exciting new product developments on

giving the game away too much, you will be please to
hear that Fahr has a range of ground breaking new
products that are currently in their development and testing
stages. The first of these will be available in November -

also have some new Active Panels that are being worked on at
the moment and a complete new range of educational and fun
panels that will be another giant leap for Fahr.
Russell Funnell (MD) said: we are really excited
about the developments that we have both in hand and on the
way for next year, it really is an exciting time for us at
Fahr at the moment, we really think our customers are
going to love what we have lined up for them.

months

Customer Log In – what is it for and
who can access it?
Along with
the redesigned website we have also introduced a Customer

be accessed with a username and password. In this area we
are intending to display technical information, fact sheets
and probably pricing information
- the types of things that you wouldn't necessarily want
your customers to see on our website.

considered for access, you must be a 30 day account customer
with at least 12 months of trading history with Fahr. If you

More storage and production space
acquired
for further Capacity
As a result of the high demand for our springers and the new
Active Panels range, both of which require a high level of
components and assembly, we have decided to increase our
storage and production space to enable us to meet both the
current and future demands. By acquiring this additional
2000sq/ft of factory space next to our existing factory
units, we can now hold more raw material, components ready
for assembly and completed assemblies in stock and the
additional space for assembly, so as always we can continue
to offer all our customers the very quick order to dispatch
lead time that they expect from Fahr. |

Down on
the Farm Springers, bounce into Europe
The
whimsical and fun springers from the
Down on Farm Spring Playtime
range have been popular with our UK play customer’s right
from their launch in 2006, not surprisingly in the last few
months they have also become a big hit in Europe with
customers from Belgium, Spain and Greece ordering many of
the models. High on the agenda and important to our
customers in Europe is the high quality finish and the
durability of our Spring Playtime
products. There are less expensive springers available in
Europe, but these alternatives are typically cheaper designs
in every aspect and are no comparison to the quality of the
Fahr products, add to this the fact that all our
Down on the Farm Spring Playtime products are
TUV tested, you can see why they are so hard to resist |
