UK first for Chain+Conveyor and Sircatene
The RWM show in September is the catalyst for an announcement that has far reaching affects for the UK’s conveyor chain market.
Chain+Conveyor, the UK’s largest stockists of metric and imperial conveyor chain, have signed a sole distribution agreement with Sircatene, a leading Italian chain manufacturer. The agreement gives exclusive distribution rights to Chain+Conveyor for engineered and special conveyor chains throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Neil Stott, senior partner at Chain+Conveyor, explained: ‘We needed to source a European-based chain manufacturer for specialist engineered chain and have been in discussions with Sircatene for some time. Sircatene have a world-class reputation for special production, high-quality chains and we’re delighted to have secured a sole distributor agreement with them.’
This new agreement means Chain+Conveyor are able to supply the whole spectrum of conveyor chain from their two leading chain suppliers: Sircatene and Donghua. Sircatene will supply Chain+Conveyor with chain for specialist applications and standard conveyor chain will be supplied by Donghua.
Neil added: ‘Sircatene’s business is similar to ours - a family-based firm with the same high standards of quality and customer service, backed by extensive product knowledge.’
Sircatene were established in the 1970s and specialize in the manufacture of a range of specialist-engineered chains for conveyor purposes. Their chain is used in a wide range of industries globally including waste and recycling.
