Fetim Group UK, which owns the Aqualux and Haceka brands, has been appointed approved suppliers to the Fortis independent mixed merchant buying group.

Fortis members now have access to a complete range of Aqualux showering solutions from low profile trays, shower sets, enclosures and bath screens.

Mike Jones, Fetim UK's sales and marketing director, said: "The UK sales team are very excited about the supply partnership, which will take effect from 1 January, 2016. We have invested in our Aqualux and Haceka brands to embrace a much wider selection of showering products as part of our strategy to be a total solutions provider. Working with Fortis members creates a great opportunity for all parties and we are delighted to have been appointed as an approved supplier."

Fortis was formed in 2013 through a merger of the CEMCO buying group and the Combined Buying Association. This purchasing group has 38 member companies across the UK (approx 290 branches) with combined annual revenues of over £1bn.
