Country Manager UK & Ireland
“Since 2018 when Klauke were acquired by Emerson along with the Greenlee and Ridgid brands, Thorne & Derrick have helped our Group supply contractor requirements with tools for cable crimping, cutting and punching electrical 
panels.
Today our partnership is going from strength to strength.
Thorne & Derrick’s Sales Engineers receive ongoing training at their offices to promote technical competence and build commercial confidence in our tooling products – they are supported by Klauke’s national field sales team to provide onsite or online product demonstrations to end users when and wherever required.
Since 1985, Thorne & Derrick have gained a solid reputation for contributing to improvements in Workplace Electrical Safety throughout the industry – this includes assisting the launch of product innovations into the market, such as the Greenlee LS50 & Klauke VDE Orange and being a “go-to” supplier of electrical safety equipment to power industry contractors working with underground cables or overhead lines.
Increasing sales of our Strut Channel Cutter are an excellent example of a success story – the RIDGID STRUTSLAYR is recognised as the strongest and safest strut channel cutter on the market and is available from Thorne & Derrick stocks.
The sales and marketing staff at Thorne & Derrick worked hard and smart on introducing the STRUTSLAYR product to their clients and marketplace during COVID and are now seeing the impressive sales results.
Together during 2022 we welcome the opportunity to jointly promote more Workplace Electrical Safety improvements to be delivered through product innovations including the first remote-controlled cable cutters –Â for example, the Klauke ESG105RMCCFM and ESG65RMCCFM battery-powered, hydraulic cutting tools which will allow the user to maintain a safe distance whilst cutting cables,” comments Paul.
Featured Product
RIDGID together with Thorne & Derrick introduce an innovative Strut Channel Cutter that improves workplace electrical safety called STRUTSLAYR™Â which offers reduced risk of sparking when compared to grinders and chop saws and still manages to produce a clean, consistent cut.
The RIDGID® STRUTSLAYR™ delivers shop quality, burr-free strut channel cuts on the jobsite in 5 seconds or less. Compatible with RIDGID 32kN press tools, the STRUTSLAYR strut cutter offers a clean, consistent cut with a simple pull of a trigger.
