SUGIYAMA SBR (SY) ‘SUPER CHAIN’ comes to the UK & Ireland

Leading national power transmission distributors, Distag QCS (UK) Ltd, are proud to announce their appointment as exclusive distributor, UK and Ireland, for the Sugiyama Chain Co, of Japan.

SY, regarded as the ultimate roller chain, has an unparalleled reputation for quality globally. It is the first choice for many blue-chip OEM companies, who require a ‘problem-solving’ product for exacting, and extreme, applications.

Distag, who have long been regarded as industry specialists in the power transmission sector, have a long-standing reputation for their Powerdrive chain brand. Powerdrive chain is a highly successful general purpose chain which offers outstanding value for the vast majority of applications. However, Distag have recognised a growing market for premium quality chain, particularly for agricultural machinery manufacturers and all heavy industry.

Joe Deacon, MD, commented “Sugiyama is such a revered and respected product, we are delighted to that they have chosen us to establish their presence in the UK and Ireland. It is a natural progression for us, and driven by the demands of many of our OEM partners. Hopefully, it will also give distributors access to a premium chain product – a market which has characteristically had very little choice in the past”.

SY chain types available include BS Roller, ANSI Roller, Stainless Steel, Double Capacity, Double Pitch, Heavy and Super Heavy Series, Oilfield Type, Hollow Pin, Self-Lube, Maintenance Free, Sidebow and Aqua Proof.
