McElroy Adds New Distributors
March 18, 2014
McElroy has recently announced the addition of three new distributors that will serve domestic and international customers from East to West.
The new distributors are R & B Company, of San Jose, Calif., Miami International Machinery and Equipment Corp. (Mimeco), of Medley, Fla., and SOFIPO, of Moscow, Russia.
“Our fusion machines play a critical role in meeting the increasing demand for fusible pipelines worldwide,” said McElroy president and CEO Chip McElroy. “The pipeline industry associates our brand with the most advanced, reliable and efficient machines on the market which ensures that the infrastructure systems being built are first-rate.”
R&B Company distributes underground utility supplies for water, sewer, stormwater and fusible pipeline products from its seven locations throughout Northern California.
Mimeco serves the oil, water, gas and mining industries and is also a global exporter of valves, fittings and high-density polyethylene pipe. The company’s McElroy products are primarily in use at jobsites in Suriname, a small country off the northeastern Atlantic coast of South America.
SOFIPO is a spin-off of PALECO, a Russian company that provides a full range of pipe clamps and electrofusion products manufactured in the United Kingdom, and will now be a supplier of McElroy’s butt fusion equipment. SOFIPO serves the gas and water industry through an established network of dealers and contractors throughout Russia.
