Quality Chipboard Alliance

A formal alliance has been agreed between two leading chipboard flooring manufacturers to co-operate in maximising the quality and routes to market of flooring products aimed at UK builders' merchants and housebuilders.

Puhoswood Limited and Kronospan UK believe their complementary strengths in products, service, experience and philosophy offer distributors and end users an unrivalled package of exceptional quality.

Kronospan is well known for its multi product portfolio regarded as a 'gold standard' by many builders' merchants throughout the country. Its fast-track delivery of mixed loads has also become an essential advantage to its customers.

The Puhos brand is synonymous with the development of innovative, value added products. Its partnership with Trus Joist in marketing complete flooring systems has also enhanced exisiting links between Puhos and leading volume housebuilders. Its pioneering Weather Dek flooring systems are now used in over 40 per cent of new build houses.

Andy Moore, managing director of Puhoswood said: “We already have a strong relationship with Kronospan which is a significant supplier of P5 baseboard for our products. Weather Dek2 will now be available through Kronospan in place of its Weather Safe product and together we will explore further complementary activities and routes to market which reflect our joint commitment to quality.”

Colin Singleton, sales director of Kronospan Limited commented: “We are excited about the co-operation between Kronospan and Puhos, two market leaders in their specific fields, which complement each other brilliantly. This is especially valuable at a time when the building sector is developing rapidly towards the quality products both our companies can now offer. With this alliance we will be able to give a unique service and range with high quality, branded products, for which demand can only continue to grow.”
