Instantor, part of the Sanbra Group, has made significant progress in establishing partnerships with the Plumbing and Heating Group (PHG) merchant members since joining the group in August. Among them is Stuart Plumbing and Heating Supplies, a family-run Midlands based merchant with 40 years of experience, specialising in central heating, specialist plumbing, bathrooms, showers and a variety of furniture and accessories.
Currently, Stuart P&H operates a network of 10 branches across the East Midlands, giving installers access to the Instantor Press System, which includes press fittings and Pex-Al-Pex pipe that are quick and easy to install. When using the Instantor Press System, the installer simply has to crimp the fitting securely on to the pipe, which takes a couple of seconds and eliminates the need for heat based methods, such as soldering.
Dan Wild, UK Sales Director, Instantor, says: “We’re thrilled to be extending our relationships with PHG merchant members and expanding our reach within the UK market. Initially, Stuart P&H branches will be stocking our market-leading Instantor Press System, which is backed by an extensive 50 year warranty, giving trade counter staff the confidence to recommend products that deliver long term, fit-and-forget reliability.
“We’re looking forward to the next steps in working in partnership with their teams, which will include providing product training for staff and delivering demonstration days at their branches.”
Stephen Elliott, Director, Stuart Plumbing and Heating Supplies adds: “At Stuart Plumbing and Heating, we pride ourselves on our friendly and efficient service, as well as being able to provide customers with high quality plumbing brands and we are happy to welcome Instantor to our portfolio. We’re very impressed with Instantor’s approach and innovative product range, which is built on nearly 100 years of expertise. We think our customers will be drawn to the many benefits of the Instantor Press System and Instantor’s extensive UK stockholding will ensure that our customers can easily access the products that they need.”
