Rangemaster is exclusive partner for Schock in UK
RANGEMASTER HAS signed an agreement to become the exclusive partner in the UK for Schock granite sinks from Germany. The Schock by Rangemaster range comprises two collections – Cristadur and Cristalite – which includes 14 designs and over 250 SKUs. The new granite sinks offering will sit alongside Rangemaster’s existing range of stainless steel and fireclay sinks and kitchen taps.
Speaking exclusively to kbbreview about the landmark deal, Rangemaster sales director James Cunningham (pictured) said: “I am very excited. The product range we have agreed with them is significant. I think it is the largest granite sink offer available today. We are the exclusive distributor of Schock-branded products in the UK market. We wanted to make more of a splash so that it lifts our own profile and that of Schock and we are intending to put quite a lot of marketing activity behind it to raise awareness of our partnership. “They will be called Schock by Rangemaster. It’s a Schock-branded sink and they are all made in Germany. We as a business are the exclusive partner for Schock and we will be selling it under a watertight agreement into the UK market. It is a full portfolio.”
Cunningham told kbbreview: “There is definite room for growth in the sector. In the overall market for granite sinks, we are selling thousands, but I would like to be selling tens of thousands. “We are talking with a number of existing customers alongside new customers and the number of retailers is going to grow rapidly. We are expecting 2021 to be the real start of our journey. The feedback we have had has been very positive. “We also deal with some distributors in the UK and they in turn will stock our range of Schock products, which will allow retailers to buy through them. We are talking to a number of new distributors at the moment.”
Three new Wren stores bring total to 99
KITCHEN RETAILER Wren has opened three more stores. The new stores have opened in Mansfield, Altrincham and Oldham. The new Mansfield store – which opened its doors in September – was the
chain’s 97th. It has 64 kitchen displays and created 18 jobs locally. City mayor Andy Abrahams was there to cut the ribbon, which is pictured below, and was presented with a £500 donation towards his 500 Fund, which helps local community projects.
Cllr Abrahams said: “I am delighted that Wren Kitchens has come to Mansfield – I am confident they will be a success.
“This is a very exciting time to be locating here with £50 million being invested in the town centre and with the council and many developers building homes all around the district.”
