Pellerin Milnor Partners with HJ Weir for Distribution Across the Pond

Exclusive UK, Ireland batch washer agreement signed during Clean ’17

LAS VEGAS — HJ Weir Engineering is now the exclusive authorized partner in the United Kingdom and Ireland for Pellerin Milnor Corp.’s batch washers, the company reports.

On the opening day of the Clean Show here, Ross Weir, managing director of HJ Weir, and James W. Pellerin, chairman and CEO of Pellerin Minor Corp., announced the start of the exclusive partnership, agreeing that HJ Weir is now the sole, exclusive distributor for Milnor products in the U.K. and Ireland.

HJ Weir has joined hands with not one but two family powerhouse brands this year, says Ross Weir: Laco for ironers and now Milnor for washers.

“We are thrilled to be working with the Milnor family brand,” says Ross Weir. “There was a real synergy with business ethics and vision for the future. We agreed to the U.K. partnership because we always want to offer our customers the best quality products that last. We didn’t have a batch washer offering, and we always wanted to have the full solution under one roof.”

Weir believes the partnership with Milnor is a first step in what is to be a long business relationship: “We already have had requests for Milnor products, and we look forward to meeting many more laundries to showcase the full range,” he says.

“Together we will tackle such opportunities in the U.K. as have been met throughout the world by Milnor products, such as PulseFlow™ batch tunnel washers,” says James W. Pellerin. “We are confident this new relationship will be found to offer value appreciated by U.K. laundry professionals.”
