10.01.07 - Unbrako Announcement

Francis Kirk Socket Screws Ltd - European Master Distributor

Dear Customer,

In line with our corporate inventory strategy, Unbrako is moving away from stocking finished goods for its Durlok range of product. To support our customers & market we are pleased to announce that Francis Kirk (Socket Screws) has acquired the existing Shannon Durlok stock and will now be the Exclusive Master Distributor for Durlok product for UK and European businesses.

Francis Kirk has for many years been the leading distributor of Durlok bolts and nuts especially in the UK. It is their intention to carry an extensive range of product. Shannon will continue to manufacture Durlok. However we request that all our customers take advantage of the enhanced stock availability and purchase your requirements from Francis Kirk.

If any customer do have enquires, the future source will be Francis Kirk (Socket Screws) Ltd Denton Hall Farm Road, Denton, Manchester. M34 2QN. UK. Telephone: (0044)161 336 2631 Fax: (0044)161 335 0043

• Francis Kirk - email: franciskirk@franciskirk.com

Having a dedicated Durlok stocking resource available to our entire distribution network will be a definite improvement to relying on “order batching” that existed prior to the above changes and have resulted in many cases extended lead times. I am sure that every one will join me in supporting Francis and his team in this marketing initiative to improve the availability of our Durlok product.
