The NMBS Exhibition, organised by the National Merchant Buying Society, takes place at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, on Wednesday 11thApril 2018.

VIP is looking forward to welcoming visitors to Stand 253 in the exhibition hall, where there will be a special product offer and a prize draw for exhibition visitors throughout the day.

VIP Commercial Director Jon Crean said: "This is a great opportunity to meet and talk with our many clients in the builders merchant sector. Also, to show them, and potentially new customers, what we have to offer.

"We will be displaying our range ofVIPSeal^®flexible couplings, which we added to in 2017 with the launch of the VIPSealChem coupling for use on pipe systems where a high degree of resistance to chemicals or extreme temperatures is needed.

"The patent-pending productdramatically simplifies the joining of pipes, speeding up installation, reducing costs, and minimising operational downtime, because it isjust as easy to fit as all otherVIPSeal^®couplings.

"VIPSealChem has been enthusiastically welcomed by builders, plumbing, and heating merchants already, so we're excited by this opportunity to present it at such a popular trade event as the NMBS Exhibition."

VIPSeal^®is a versatile range of rubber couplings and adaptors for joining and repairing low pressure and non-pressured pipes of any material and size combination.

Products are designed, developed, tested, and manufactured all under one roof at VIP's HQ and manufacturing centre in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

Jon Crean said: "Builders merchants benefit from VIP being in control of the entire development and production process, ensuring our products set the highest performance and quality standards.

"Our ability to develop VIPSealChem is an example of the added value we deliver. It also means we can also turn around off-shelf and bespoke products in a matter of hours, not days, helping merchants deliver the best service to their customers."
