Instantor’s full suite of press-fit solutions is now available through Pochin Plumbing & Heating Supplies, marking another significant milestone in Instantor’s growing partnership activity since joining the Plumbing and Heating Group (PHG) earlier this year.

Pochin, a long-established Midlands merchant with roots stretching back to 1861, is recognised for its strong service culture and extensive branch network. The company now operates 32 trade locations alongside nine bathroom showrooms, with continued expansion on the horizon. This reach positions Pochin as a key partner in ensuring installers across the region have convenient access to cutting-edge plumbing and heating solutions.

Through this collaboration, Pochin branches will offer the Instantor Press System, featuring robust press fittings and multilayer Pex-Al-Pex pipe supported by a 50-year warranty. Installers will also benefit from access to the new R Press range for air-conditioning and refrigeration applications, as well as the latest IT2030 press tool and jaws, engineered to deliver superior performance and reliability on site.

To support the rollout, Instantor’s sales and marketing teams have been working closely with Pochin to introduce a range of customer-focused activities for Q4. Over the past few weeks, Instantor Area Sales Managers have been on the ground providing in-branch training for counter staff and installers. The Instantor Mobile Training Academy has also been visiting multiple Pochin locations, offering hands-on demonstrations and practical guidance.

Dan Wild, UK Sales Director, Instantor, says:
“We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Pochin, one of the UK’s longest-established independent merchants. Joining PHG has created an exciting opportunity for us to collaborate, and it’s fantastic to see new partnerships already developing with promotions, training and hands-on support for installers underway. We look forward to building on this momentum and strengthening our relationship with Pochin in the months ahead.”

Matt Pysden, Commercial Director, Pochin, adds:
“The PHG team visited Instantor’s head office in Dublin recently and were very impressed by their capabilities and expertise in pipe and fitting solutions. Press fittings are a huge growth area in the industry and Instantor has a first-class portfolio of products. At Pochin, we’re enjoying working with the Instantor team who are clearly committed to building long term relationships. Starting in October, we have several attractive promotions to add real value for our installer customer base.”
