Darlac set to launch 'most innovative product to date'

With a week to go to the DIY and Totally Tools Show at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, Darlac continues to ‘keep schtum’ about its latest and most innovative product to date which is due to be launched at the show on the Darlac stand (i39) on Sunday 15th February.

The Berkshire based garden tools company really is quite excited about its latest offering, and predicts that once everyone has seen and used this product, they will automatically fall in love with it, and that’s why they are launching on Valentine’s Weekend!

The first of its kind in the UK, and exclusive to Darlac, this unique new tool, is undoubtedly one for all you DIY, Garden Centre and Retail Buyers to check-out and stock-up with for the coming season ahead.

Peter Darban, joint managing director of Darlac, says: As a company we are continually reviewing and adding new products to our ever growing range of garden tools and accessories, however, I can honestly say that I have never been more excited in all my years in this business as I am about the launch of this particular product.

"One thing I can reveal is that this product has been based on one of the most heavily used tools in our gardens to date, and a product that all gardeners, whatever their level and expertise will want to own."

Family owned Darlac Ltd, continues to grow as a leading tool company in the UK and Ireland and is regularly awarded ‘Best Buys’ for featured tools on test, in some of the most popular gardening magazines around.

It was a particularly proud moment for the company in November last year when they were told not only had they been awarded the number one BEST BUY for Secateurs on test in Gardening Which magazine but that they had also scooped second place - achieving the highest marks  awarded in 2014.

 Achieving the No 1 slot with thei DP332 Compound Action Pruner - scoring a whopping 93% overall and second place with 86% for the DP1033 Expert Bypass Pruner (small) is a major coup, especially since the other tool contenders were  all well known household names.

 Darlac Ltd has been steadily growing as a company for many years and has a huge following with gardening enthusiasts up and down the country. Its trade sales have recently been reported as being up by 49 % in the first five months of trading as the company continues to grow at a rapid rate.
