Harris Becomes Distributor for Worthington
They handle exclusive wholesale distribution of air-fuel equipment in the U.S., also with distribution of gas cylinders.
Posted: August 6, 2019
Harris Products Group (Harris; Mason, OH) is now the exclusive distributor of Worthington Industries (Columbus, OH) air-fuel equipment in the U.S. wholesale channel and a distributor of the company’s gas cylinders. This agreement broadens Harris’ brazing and plumbing product lines and complements the previously-acquired soldering consumables business and certain brazing assets from Worthington earlier this year.
“Adding their product portfolio allows us to better serve wholesalers who benefit from full access to products and expertise from a single-source and highly regarded partner,” according to David Nangle, the president of Harris. “We have increased our solder portfolio and are also offering a new range of air-fuel torches. There is no other company in the marketplace providing a more complete portfolio of brazing alloys, solder and torches. Wholesale customers have been overwhelmingly positive to extending their relationships with us, and we look forward to the mutual benefits derived from the acquisitions and distribution agreement.”
To further support wholesale customers, Harris is presenting point-of-purchase displays for wholesale store locations. “These displays will make it convenient for busy professionals to quickly get the products they need. These sets will be fully stocked with brazing alloys, gas equipment including regulators and torches, solders, and air-fuel torches and cylinders,” added Nangle.
