Irion digs into the U.S. market
Irion Vertriebs GmbH, a German-based manufacturer of dispensing tools and caulking gun products worldwide, launched Irion-America, LLC, a United States based sales and distribution subsidiary. Along with the new U.S. sales & distribution center, Irion also announced a new partnership with Strybuc Industries, a wholesale distributor of window and door replacement hardware and specialty tools for the window and door industry.
Irion-America was formed in the suburbs of Philadelphia in July 2017. As a manufacturer of high quality caulking and polyurethane foam guns, Irion-America is now stocking these products in the U.S. The move allows for delivery within 3 days to continental U.S. customers.
“We recognized a demand in the U.S. market for higher quality products and are up to the challenge to provide American businesses with the reliable products they need,” said Thomas Irion, CEO of Irion. “With the launch of Irion-America and the distribution partnership with Strybuc, we plan to build the highest market share in the U.S.”
Last year, Irion sold over 3 million foam and 3 million caulking guns worldwide and with this new partnership, expect that number to significantly increase because of the demand in this market. The company is looking to benefit also from concerns over climate change and potential environmental rules and regulations. These factors drive residential houses and industrial buildings to be insulated in a more professional way, the company says.
Conventional technologies such as nailing and stapling are being replaced by gluing and bonding with polyurethane foam as well as innovative adhesives and sealants of which Irion has developed special caulking guns, the company claims.
