To support the ongoing increase in demand for its products, the award-winning sealant and sealant tools brand, CornerTape has teamed up with Centurion Europe, one of the UK’s leading trade suppliers of tools, hardware, DIY and associated products, in a distribution deal which will take the availability of CornerTape to new levels throughout the UK.
Stocks of the sealant-taming product system are now being held at Centurion Europe’s 80,000sq/ft state-of-the-art distribution centre in Doncaster, ready for shipping to Centurion’s 7000+ customers as well as CornerTape’s existing national stockists.
In addition to CornerTape itself, in two roll lengths and a choice of four widths, the CornerTape product system includes Silicone Remover Tools, dedicated Preparation Wipes, a Caulk Gun and Silicone Forming Kit, all of which now feature in Centurion Europe’s product portfolio.
Centurion and its customers will be the first to receive the brand new CornerTape SiliconePro Kitchen & Bathroom Sealant with the World’s first Anti-Drip Valve and Pre-Cut Nozzle in a selection of four colours.
Also available from Centurion are CornerTape ‘Customer Start-up Kits’, with a choice of floor standing or shelf hanging retail displays which encourage sales with the use of a video to help introduce and explain the product system to trade and DIY users.
Andy Toyne, sales director for CornerTape in the UK, said: “Bringing our warehousing and central distribution centre to the UK will increase efficiency, reduce costs and better support our rapidly expanding network of stockists. Centurion Europe is a well-established and highly respected supplier in the industry and we are thrilled with the distribution agreement, which extends availability of the whole CornerTape product range to thousands more retailers, merchants and their customers throughout the country.
“For retailers, CornerTape is a compelling proposition as a relatively new yet highly successful product range with an increasing demand, a decent profit margin, ongoing product development and marketing support via POS and merchandising, PR and our current TV advertising campaign is proving extremely popular.”
CornerTape provides a pair of perfectly parallel micro-thin metal tapes which are quick and easy to apply. Simply fill the gap between the tapes with sealant, smooth over with the tool supplied in every box and remove the tapes for a perfect finish every time. The CornerTape product system includes patented remover tools, dedicated preparation wipes and now CornerTape SiliconePro Kitchen & Bathroom Sealant, for a simple, speedy way of preparing, applying and finishing for a longer-lasting, perfect bead of sealant every time.
