London & Lancs has taken on the UK distribution of Geka, one of Europe's leading horticultural and gardening brands.
Geka is manufactured by long-established German firm Karasto Armaturenfabrik Oehler, which in 1932 invented the Geka Quick Couplings that made the brand famous worldwide. Since then, the company has been supplying high quality watering and irrigation products to the industry.

London & Lancs' manufacturing and wholesale distribution business was established in 1900 by current managing director Andy Wheeler's great grandfather. It serves UK resellers across a wide range of industries, from the construction industry through to DIY stores and hardware to garden centres. The company is also an approved supplier to BIRA, Home Hardware and NMBS.

Geka spokesman Erik Rosenholm said: "Today Geka not only stands for unprecedented construction expertise but also for many patented ideas for fittings and accessories. Besides unique product quality, we place great importance on three things: ease of use, exclusive design and the title Engineered in Germany."

Mr Wheeler added: "Partnering with Geka is a great opportunity to bring their high quality, precision-engineered products to the UK market. When we talk to people about gardening and horticulture products, Geka is the brand that pops into people's heads."
