Rangemaster and Waterline announce Sinks and Taps partnership

Rangemaster, the UK's largest manufacturer of sinks, is proud to announce a new working partnership with Waterline, the UK's largest distributor of sinks and taps.

Following Rangemaster's 2011 launch of a 60 strong new sink and tap range, Waterline identified and selected Rangemaster as the sink and tap manufacturer that will add to its previous single sink producer portfolio, offering its customer base an enhanced market package and allowing the company to continue to provide a superior service.

The new Rangemaster collection of kitchen sinks and taps was launched last year after a multi million pound investment by the AGA Rangemaster business. The range has been developed to add significant value to kitchen retailers and perfectly reflect the needs of the UK kitchen market at very competitive price levels. Established in 1985, Waterline has become the UK's largest supplier to the independent kitchen specialist sector with a product portfolio comprising only the best brands. The new partnership with Waterline will further facilitate Rangemaster with meeting the requirements of its trade and commercial marketplace customers.

Commenting on the new deal, Michael Head, Waterline's Chief Executive said:
'We are delighted to have added Rangemaster's new sink and tap Collection to our product line up. The new range complements our existing product portfolio perfectly and will offer excellent value to our customer base. We have been very impressed by the production facility in Nottingham which illustrates that high quality manufacturing continues to thrive in the UK.'

Mike Bufton, MD of AGA Rangemaster added:
'AGA Rangemaster already has an excellent relationship with Waterline who has been distributing our appliances for a number of years. We are excited by the opportunity that this new stage in our relationship brings and are confident that the addition of the new Rangemaster sink and tap collection across Waterline will deliver enormous benefits to both businesses'.
