Fibo UK has joined the Builders’ Merchants Federation (BMF) as a supplier member.
Fibo is experiencing strong growth with merchants across the country with its stylish wall panels. Developed in Norway in 1952 and available in the UK since 1981, Fibo’s precision engineered panels and extensive support are opening up new selling opportunities for merchants.
Managing Director Scott Beattie comments: “Although we’ve been in the UK for many years, new owners were introduced last year and are focused on growth. At the start of this year, the decision was taken to expand our UK business nationally, and since then it’s been a complete whirlwind! Investment in a new £14m factory in Norway reflects our ambitious plans.
“The interest and commitment from merchants to stock and display our products has been outstanding,” continues Scott. “For example, BBS Building Supplies ripped out its entire showroom at their Barton Hill branch and replaced it with a fully refurbished display area, enabling a whole new experience for their builder and contractor customers. Our panels cover over 150m² of wall space. This level of commitment is testament to the quality of our products and the difference they’re making to merchants’ sales.
“In this period of rapid growth and expansion it makes sense to start aligning ourselves to key industry bodies like the BMF. We recognise the value of BMF membership and look forward to the many opportunities it will bring in helping us build new and existing relationships with builders’ merchants.”
