Reichhold expands US distribution network for coating resins in Pacific Northwest

Reichhold, Inc. announced on June 12, 2009 an agreement to expand its distribution network in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho and Colorado) with the addition of TCR Industries and PT Hutchins as authorized agents for Reichhold coating resin products.

“Our new agreements with TCR Industries and P.T. Hutchins will strengthen our distribution sales coverage for Reichhold’s coating resins, enabling us to better serve our customers throughout the Pacific Northwest region,” said Martin Horrocks, distribution sales manager for Reichhold’s Coatings Division. “Both of these firms are experienced specialty chemicals distributors and our agreements with them will provide our customers with the highest level of customer service and sales support.” Both distribution agreements take effect July 1, 2009.

Reichhold products were previously distributed in this territory by LV Lomas Limited, of Delta, British Columbia (Canada). LV Lomas will continue to be Reichhold’s exclusive distributor for all resin products in Canada.
