Having successfully served the UK market for years via distribution, SIXTY82 is now taking the next step in its growth by establishing a full presence in the country to further enhance product support, improve lead times and listen even more closely to its UK customers.

Working alongside him is Technical Director Johnny Marshall, a well-known and highly respected figure in the trussing and staging industry, valued for his extensive knowledge of the SIXTY82 product range and his dedication to customer support.

We’re thrilled to connect and collaborate with the many talented people and companies in the industry, and together, we aim to deliver innovative and cutting-edge solutions.”
Fokko Smeding, CEO of SIXTY82, commented: “The UK market is extremely important tous, and opening our own office and warehouse at Production Park demonstrates our commitment to further enhancing our service levels. By establishing a direct presence here, we can deliver exceptional customer support, quicker turnaround times, and develop closer, stronger relationships within the industry.”
AC-ET will continue to maintain a very important role as a key sales partner, further enhancing the service and availability levels of SIXTY82 in the UK. Its extensive sales network, technical support, and longstanding relationships with customers across various sectors make them an essential asset to our continued success and growth in the region.
SIXTY82 UK will operate from Production Park in Wakefield, a world-class campus at the heart of the UK’s live events industry. With significant stock levels on site, SIXTY82 UK is equipped to meet the fast-paced demands of projects across the entertainment sector.
