Gasco and SWM form alliance
[firstParagraph]
GASCO has formed an alliance with fellow air conditioning and refrigeration wholesaler SWM.
Although still operating as independent companies, the new partnership will give each company access to the other's product ranges with a combined presence in each branch.
As well as increasing their respective product ranges, the partnership also creates a wider branch network. SWM's branches in Bridgwater, Birmingham, Eastleigh, Leeds and Newcastle complement Gasco's branches in Belfast, Bristol, Dartford, Glasgow and Slough. The only overlap between the two companies is in Manchester, where SWM's current temporary branch will be merged into Gasco's Manchester outlet.
'With the recent appointment of Gasco as a new Fujitsu distributor and their unrivalled refrigerant portfolio combined with SWM's continuing success with Hitachi and our commitment to great value products such as Chigo, Airwell and the SWM range, this partnership offers an unparalleled freedom of choice,' said an SWM company statement.
