ASD adds premium brand sinks and taps to kitchens portfolio

Leading appliances and spare parts distributor ASD has secured deals to supply a range of sinks and taps from two of the kitchen industry’s best known brands, Franke and Caple.

In a move designed to appeal to both new and existing trade customers, ASD will add more than 300 sinks and taps from the two manufacturers to its portfolio of appliances and spare parts, making the Leeds-based company a one-stop-shop for kitchen goods.

ASD Managing Director Ian Vurgest said: “We are delighted to be in a position to offer our customers both Franke and Caple’s portfolio of sinks and taps. Whilst historically our core business has been within the supply of appliances and spare parts, it is great to have a new range of products we can offer to our trade customers, many of whom are kitchen companies. The Franke and Caple products perfectly compliment some of our higher range appliances and have already proven extremely popular.”

ASD will sell and distribute both Franke’s Pro-Value range and its specialist range.

The Pro-Value range offers customers a diverse selection of ready-made sink and tap packages that are great value-for-money while the specialist range includes premium quality products and innovative designs manufactured from high graded materials.

All Franke sinks and taps will be available for delivery in the UK from ASD within two working days. At the same time, Franke granite sinks will be sold with an unrivalled 50 year guarantee.

ASD will also offer Caple’s full range of ceramic, granite and stainless steel sinks. The design led collection has been put together to suit all tastes and budgets.

One of ASDs largest trade customers added: “In the current climate it’s great to have products in our portfolio which enable us to differentiate ourselves from the competition and improve our profitability. Similarly it is a real advantage being able to buy all of our appliances, our washing machine spares, cooker spares and now our sinks and taps under one roof”

All Franke and Caple sinks and taps are available from http://www.leedsappliances.co.uk  with immediate effect.

At the same time, ASD Appliances has announced that it will be open on Sundays from 10am until 3pm throughout March 2012.
