Suffolk-based Becker Acroma, which bought Granyte Surface Coatings early last year, has launched a new distributor network in the UK under the Syntema banner.

At around the same time as it bought Granyte, Becker Acroma also acquired the Goldspeed network – a group of seven independently operated distributors already distributing Becker products.

That network has since been reorganised and two new distribution centres have been added to improve the company’s geographic coverage.

Adrian Nuttall, who heads Syntema North East, said: “Each centre has its own state-of-the-art colour matching and laboratory facilities and is able to provide ex-stock or next day delivery of Becker Acroma woodfinishes in quantities as little as one litre.”
