Sligo firm in deal with New Zealand company
Herron & Son, Sligo and Sanbra Fyffe, Dublin, two of the leading names in the Irish plumbing and hardware sectors have joined forces in a deal with a New Zealand water solution specialist Hansen.
Herron began business in Sligo in 1947 and is Ireland’s leading retail wholesaler in the general hardware and agri sector.
Sanbra Fyffe with its manufacturing base in Dublin is market leader in the supply of plumbing and heating products to the building sector in Ireland since it was established in 1934
In a unique collaboration the two companies have teamedup with Hansen to bring to the Irish market an unrivalled and internationally acclaimed range of water system products for commercial & domestic plumbing and agricultural use.
The Hansen products will be promoted in Ireland over the coming months with a high level marketing campaign including a tour of the country by the Hansen Demonstration Unit and a major display area at the National Ploughing Championships.
Colum Murphy of Herron said that the company is proud to bring Hansen’s range of proven and competitively priced products to the Irish markets which has up to now offered little variety in efficient cost-effective water systems solutions,
“There are no comparable products on the Irish market that can rival Hansen in terms of quality, cost-effectiveness or ease of use. Key benefits include the fact that one fitting can be used with all pipe types, are manufactured to withstand the harshest weather conditions and carry a lifetime guarantee.” said Noel Conroy, Sanbra Fyffes’s Commercial Manager.
Hansen is a specialist manufacturer which has been in business for over 60 years and has a range of over 1,000 products. Steve Sharpe, Hansen Director of Sales and Marketing said, “We are delighted to be working with Herron and Sanbra Fyffe. Our businesses operate very similarly and share core values and views on providing high performance, quality water system solutions for every need. We look forward to building a long-lasting business relationship together.”
