Honeywell Southern Africa has entered into an exclusive agreement with DLM granting DLM sole rights to market and sell Honeywell Braukmann pressure relief and safety valves to the South African market from October 2001.

Braukmann pressure relief and safety valves enjoy wide application across the spectrum of South African industry. "The Braukmann range is synergistic with our existing product offering to the wide range of industries we service," says DLM's Managing Director, Barry Bamberger, "Braukmann is a long established manufacturer with products typical of German precision and quality and its pressure relief and safety valves are well known for their reliability. A very diverse and extensive range for use with water, nitrogen and compressed air is available for the widest range of commercial and industrial applications."

Up until the signing of the agreement, DLM marketed Braukmann products locally on a nonexclusive basis - one of the reasons why Divisional Manager, Steve Shannon, says Honeywell is confident that the range is in good hands.

Another reason is that DLM has seven branches countrywide - in Cape Town, East London, Pinetown, Rustenburg, Welkom and Vereeniging - in addition to its headquarters in Spartan, just outside Johannesburg. All these branches are manned by staff technically competent to support the Braukmann range.

Further cementing the agreement is Honeywell's global relationship with DLM parent company, Unihold. "Given these local and international longstanding relationships, the excellent branch structure and technical competence of the DLM team, the most logical step forward was to formalise our agreement and make it exclusive," says Shannon.

In addition to the exclusive distributorship arrangement governing pressure relief and safety valves, DLM will be handling Braukmann's range of quality water filters and strainers for commercial and domestic applications.

DLM is one of southern Africa's leading innovators in the engineering of over pressure protection, flow, level and density measurement and automation and control solutions. The company offers a comprehensive, technologically advanced range of products sourced from the world's leading manufacturers, providing optimum solutions in a wide range of industries including mining, power generation, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, sugar, petrochemical and petroleum, chemical, base metal refining and water and waste water industries.

Honeywell's control products' business provides products and services to create efficient, safe, comfortable environments. The business offers controls for heating, ventilation, humidification and airconditioning equipment, security and fire alarm systems, home automation systems, energy-efficient lighting controls and building management systems and services.
