Safestyle’s competitor to change trading name as legal claim is settled

Listed window retailer and manufacturer Safestyle has this morning announced a settlement of its claims against NIAMAC Developments, trading as SafeGlaze UK.

The Bradford-headquartered firm had filed a legal claim against its competitor for alleged trade mark infringement, passing off, misuse of confidential information, malicious falsehood and various other matters.

As part of the settlement, SafeGlaze UK has agreed to change trading name and re-brand fully within an agreed period of time.

The settlement ensures that there will be no misuse of confidential information or misleading statements to customers.

It also governs future relations between Safestyle UK and NIAMAC to prevent the possibility of any acts of intimidation or harassment of Safestyle UK representatives.  

Further details of the settlement will remain confidential.

Safestyle said: “The Board of Safestyle is pleased that the Company has reached a settlement with NIAMAC. Safestyle UK remains the UK’s leading window company and the management team looks forward to refocusing its efforts with this case now successfully concluded and behind them.”
