Honeywell has appointed CraigCor Distribution as its Field Products Master Distributor in South Africa. The appointment, part of Honeywell’s ongoing commitment to provide industry leading service around the world, means customers in the region will benefit from improved access to Honeywell’s field and process instrumentation, as well as access to dedicated local specialist resources.

Under the agreement, CraigCor Distribution will stock and support Honeywell’s field instrumentation (pressure, level, flow, wireless and temperature transmitters) and process instrumentation (analytical, standalone controllers, paperless recorders) portfolios of products and services.

Paulo da Silva, Honeywell regional sales leader for sub-Saharan Africa stated: “Honeywell is constantly working to provide its customers all of the support they require as efficiently as possible, wherever they are in the world. By working closely with top quality regional distributors such as CraigCor in South Africa, we are able to deliver a more efficient service, tailored exactly to the local needs of our customers within the region.”
