It's Masonite Beams For Wolseley In France
PBM in France - part of the Wolseley Group - has selected Masonite Beams AB as its sole supplier of engineered timber I-Joists. The prestigious deal is expected to boost Masonite's annual sales of I-Joists by 1million linear metres within two years.
Wolseley is a leading supplier of construction products, materials and services across Europe and North America. Known for being the world's number one distributor of heating and plumbing products, Wolseley's diversity also gives it strength in such construction materials as timber and engineered timber products.
The winning of this contract is very important for Masonite Beams AB. The company is gaining a very strong partner for distribution of its I-Joists in France. Especially good news is the fact that it is to become established in a market which has considerable growth potential for I-Joists, given France's increasing focus on environmental issues and rising energy prices. Using engineered timber I-Joists is an energy efficient build method, and provides a more energy efficient means of running houses once completed. PBM's flexible concept for distribution is based on local service companies adding engineering and design, and is a perfect fit with what Masonite can offer the company's building and construction customers.
Commenting on the decision to partner with Masonite Beams AB, Pascal Quetel, Director of PBM's Softwood and Panel Division of Wolseley France says:
“We are impressed with Masonite’s strength in price and manufacturing capability. Having visited the company's new plant in Sweden with 35 key members of our distribution network, we are confident that we have made the right choice of engineered timber I-Joist supplier, and we look forward to the close collaboration this partnership will bring.”
