Walkers Hammers and Steelwrist sign distribution agreement for the Victorian and South Australian market

PRESS RELEASE

Walkers Hammers has signed a distribution agreement with Steelwrist for the Victorian, South Australian and Tasmanian markets, for sales and support of Steelwrist products.

Walkers Hammers has a strong and loyal customer base built on knowledgeable and reliable service in the Victorian and South Australian markets. They provide solutions to a wide variety of manufacturers across many different applications including Civil and Demolition. With a collective of over 70 years of experience in the local market and with a customer base and contacts across the machine dealer network, this partnership promises to deliver exceptional products and customer service to the region.

Initially the focus will be on the introduction of Steelwrist products to the existing clientele. Steelwrist Australia will work closely with Walkers Hammers to support the business development. Walkers Hammers will ultimately be stocking Steelwrist parts and products in their Laverton North facility, with shipping support from Australia and Sweden.

“The civil construction and demolition markets in Australia are starting to discover the advantage of introducing more productivity into an excavator and this is where Steelwrist products and our partnerships become so important. We have had reasonable success in Victoria but having a sales and support partner like Walkers Hammers, who are already active in these markets, will only add to our success in this region”, says Darryn Wilson, Steelwrist Australia Managing Director.

”This is great news, we are very excited to become a Steelwrist partner, and the team at Walkers Hammers look forward to our companies working together. It’s not every day we get the chance to distribute such world-renowned products and together with some hard work I’m very optimistic we’ll get some good results. The potential is exciting”, says Mike Coghlan, Sales Manager for Walkers Hammers Victoria.
