The Viessmann Group, a international manufacturer of heating and cooling systems has joined the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF).

The Viessmann Group, which employs over 12,000 people worldwide, has its UK HQ in Telford. From here the company offers tailor-made systems for domestic, commercial and industrial heating, cooling, power and air conditioning systems, and trains around 2,500 installers, contractors, specifiers on its products each year.

Membership of the BMF was recommended to Viessmann by one of its merchant customers, Plumbase.

Mark Bradley, Plumbase MD, commented: “As a longstanding member of the BMF ourselves, we have first-hand experience of the benefits of membership. No other organisation brings the industry together in the same way. It is uniquely placed to inform, educate and represent the whole building materials supply chain.”

Welcoming the Viessmann Group, BMF CEO, John Newcomb said: “It’s great to have Viessmann on board. Our members are at the heart of everything we do and I’m sure Viessmann, like Plumbase, will gain value from being part of a strong trade body.”
