“We first opened our doors on Union Quay 48 years ago in 1977 and hence Union Chandlery was born.”\n\nUnion Chandlery has been at the forefront for all things marine and also for introducing new products, concepts and technology, supplying the marine industry nationwide for over 45 years. Union Chandlery are now based in Doughcloyne Industrial Estate on the Southwest side of Cork City for the last six years avoiding the hustle and bustle of the inner city and making life for our customers based south and west of us a whole lot easier with easy access onto the N40 ring road.\n\nWe try our best to cater for a very broad customer base some of which are fixed in traditional boat building and repair which require unusual parts such as Jeffrey’s Glue, Oakum, Caulking Cotton, Copper nails, Caulking irons and the like, most of which we keep on the shelf.\n\nA large part of Union Chandlery’s business is paint. We supply International Paint products. This includes paint finishes, such as Toplac Plus and Interthane 990, undercoats and primers such as One Up, Primocon and Interprime. We also supply Epoxy primers such as Gelshield 200. Of course we also sell Antifouling in a range of guises for both Leisure and Commercial users.\n\nWe are the Irish agents for Vetus Boat Systems and carry the full range of boating products from this world-renowned Dutch manufacturer.\n\nWe will have Vetus 2025 catalogues at our stand at the show so call by and pick one up for free.\n\nPart of our core business is hose. We supply exhaust hose, cooling water hose, drinking water, fuel, fuel filler, hot water, hydraulic, sanitation and bilge hose. All hoses are tried and tested with Lloyd’s approvals. The range runs from 3mm to 300mm. We have over 70 different types on the shelf to choose from.\n\nWe listen to the market and respond to what they need in order to have it on the shelf and ready to ship overnight when required.\n\nOur staff have years of technical sales experience and are always at the end of the phone.\n\nLooking forward to meeting our clients old and new in Limerick. See you all at stand C08 at UL Arena.\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n
