Samsung confirms APP as heat pump distributor

UK: Samsung has announced that APP Plumbing and Heating has now been confirmed as an official distributor of its EHS range of monobloc heat pumps and hot water tanks. 

The move follows the acquisition at the end of last year by APP Wholesale – APP Plumbing and Heating’s parent company – of Samsung’s previous sales outlet Ultimate Renewables Supplies.

According to Samsung, the new relationship with APP creates the opportunity to deliver a comprehensive, turnkey solution for the heating market.

As an independent distributor of plumbing and heating products, APP Plumbing and Heating serve local merchants nationwide. UK-wide distribution centres ensure rapid stock access and 24-hour delivery.

Describing the new partnership as “a natural step”, Samsung’s distribution heating account manager Aimee Holloran commented: “Our collaboration will enhance access to Samsung’s products across the UK, strengthening support for independent trade businesses. The team is fully prepared to support customers with expert knowledge and dedicated service, making Samsung’s training more accessible than ever for merchants.”
