Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Quinn Cement has launched a new range of bagged cement products following an investment of over €3 million in their Cement plant.
The range includes three new cement products, Master Grade Cement, Premium Grade Cement and General Purpose Cement
Each product in the range is available in robust weatherproof plastic bags following the installation of a new bagging line in the Quinn Cement factory. The new packaging is ideal for Merchants’ and builders’ yards, giving extra protection against the elements, and ease of handling thanks to the rough grip texture of the plastic.
Premium Grade Cement, offers superior strength at 42,5N. Premium Grade is likely to be a popular choice for screeders and tradesmen requiring a superior strength product.
The new Master Grade Cement is ideal for plastering and mortar, thanks to its enhanced workability. With added air entrainer, Master Grade has added frost protection, which combined with the tough weatherproof plastic packaging available, will make this a popular choice in yards and on sites across the UK.
The new Cement range has been tailored to cater for individual applications, with each product boasting properties suited to different purposes, which will appeal to a wider variety of tradesmen.
Quinn is exclusively distributing through NBG merchants this year.
Quinn Building Products’ GB Sales Director, Lee Gillman said: “It is important for us as a business to be able to react to the changing customer needs, and to ensure UK merchants have the right products to offer their customers. We’ve invested heavily in our product development and in upgrading our cement facilities to deliver this new product range. News of our new range has been very well received by Merchants and we expect the new range to perform very well this year, particularly with the support of the NBG.” We have a very strong relationship with NBG, and this will certainly be strengthened by our recent deal. We’re delighted to partner with one of the country’s leading Merchant buying groups for our Master Grade Cement.”
