From one family to another, the team at Otter congratulates the entire team at Mitre 10 MEGA Wanaka for the opening of their wonderful new store. “We’re proud to be a supplier of choice for such a great business, and one that is so respected by, and wholly invested in their local region,” says Simon Heron, National Account Manager for Otter. Otter is one of a stable of trusted trade-quality brands, proudly owned and marketed by Airco Brands, all of which are renowned for quality and reliability by trade professionals and households in the markets it supplies. Executive Director of Airco Brands, Brett Jamieson, is delighted to see the opening of the new store that, he believes, is a showcase for the Mitre 10 MEGA brand in New Zealand. Based in Australia, Otter serves customers in New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands, North and South America, and Europe. “We’ve been working with and supplying Mitre 10 in New Zealand since 2015,” says Simon. “During this time we’ve proudly built a close association with the business as it’s grown to be New Zealand’s leading supplier of building materials and home renovation solutions. A trusted and respected name in fastening, Otter’s reputation has been built on providing quality nails, screws, rivets, staples and clothesline wire. “Otter is our flagship brand for fasteners in New Zealand, and is marketed exclusively through the MEGA, Mitre 10 and Hammer Hardware store network. Our exclusive range covers construction and project solutions in screws, nails, rivets, staples and clothesline wire.” Otter is continually expanding its range in response to enquiries from Mitre 10 customers. Its most recent additions include a comprehensive range of screws in resealable multi-screw packs, which are now available at Mitre 10 MEGA Wanaka. Unique to Mitre 10 is Otters’ proprietary protective coating system for fasteners. Called Chemshield®, it’s a multi-stage coating system developed specifically to protect Otter fasteners from corrosive chemicals in timber preservatives. Chemshield® is a superior coating system for use with all forms of preservative-treated timber, including ACQ. Otter supplies Mitre 10 with a range of Chemshield®-coated fastenings including decking screws, landscaping screws & nails. Otter is available in Mitre 10 stores across the country, and employs smart, user friendly packaging for easy selection in store. “Simply look for our yellow logo and remember, when quality matters—Otter’s got your back.” WANAKA
