Damstahl and MCB have entered into a distribution agreement covering the Dutch and Belgium market for Stainless Steel bars.
Thereby MCB will distribute the wide product range of Damstahl with a special focus on stainless steel bars and hollow bars.
“This agreement will be a great step for the customers of Damstahl and MCB. With the distribution possibilities within MCB, delivering with 130 trucks on a daily basis, the service offer will expand significantly. It is our clear analyze of the market situation that closer cooperations and partnerships are of essential to compete and making us supply a quality product in time”, continues Michael Lund Group CEO of Damstahl. “For Damstahl, this marks a ‘farewell’ to direct invoicing to customers in the Netherlands and Belgium. In the future, our bars business will be sold through MCB whilst our business for tubes, fittings and flanges will be moved to our company Delta Inox”, Mr. Lund states.
From the perspective of MCB, the agreement with Damstahl is also a great step in the direction of becoming a complete one stop shop provider within carbon and stainless steel. “It is clear that the wide product range of Damstahl is an interesting asset for us. We can add more than ten stainless steel grades to our assortment. This brings us clearly ahead of competition with fast and reliable deliveries based on the new high bay technology Damstahl can provide us with from their warehouse in Langenfeld by Düsseldorf”, says Erik Spikmans, Sales Director of MCB.
It is also with great pleasure that the parties can announce that Mark Pieron, formerly Country Manager of Damstahl BV, will take a position as Transition Manager based at MCB Direct in Breda from where he will ensure a smooth transition.
The agreement came into effect on 01.01.2025.
