Antique Leather Dressing - Press Releases
Press Release from AntiqueLeatherDressing.co.uk
Date: 26th August 2003
For Immediate Release
Pecard appoint European Distributors for their
Antique Leather Dresssing
AntiqueLeatherDressing.co.uk (ALD)
is a brand new venture, established to represent a specialist leather
dressing product marketed under the manufacturer’s trade name of
Pecard.
ALD, based in Central Somerset in the South West
of England, have recently been signed by Pecard Leather Care Products
of Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA, to exclusively represent them in the
United Kingdom and throughout mainland Europe. A selected range
of Pecard Leather Care Products will be marketed by ALD, principally
through their web site, which can be found at www.AntiqueLeatherDressing.co.uk
Val Pringle, the driving force behind the new business, said today
“Pecard Antique Leather Dressing is simply unique. We have been
personally importing small quantities of the product direct from
the United States, for use in an associate business, over many years.
We can vouch that Pecard is arguably the best product for the specialist
antique leather care market. It was a natural progression for us
to represent Pecard in Europe to satisfy the undoubted demand from
the diverse collectors’ market.”
Pecard Leather Care Products celebrated their centenary in 2002.
They manufacture a range of leather care products based on a petroleum
lubricant similar to Vaseline, incorporating selected waxes, including
beeswax. Pecard penetrates the leather, allows the fibres to bend
and move without chafing and breaking, coats the fibres to inhibit
oxidation, and helps maintain a desirable level of moisture. Pecard
works on more modern leather products with equal success.
The applications for Pecard Leather Dressing are as wide as the
specialist antique leather market itself. Pecard is just as good
at rejuvenating a tired, but original, World War II flight jacket,
as it is nourishing vintage riding tack. ALD already
have a diverse customer base, ranging from the re-enactment community
(who use Pecard to feed and protect 19th century gun slings and
16th century wine flagons) to collectors of classic footwear, luggage,
flying helmets, whips and a multitude of other items.
AntiqueLeatherDressing.co.uk, as the name would
suggest, has been created in the internet age. “We are particularly
proud of our web presence,” said Val. “The site has been
developed to offer our customers simple and quick navigation with
useful and informative product background. We also incorporate a
user friendly Online Shop – our customers can place selected items
directly into their 'shopping basket'. Then, on completion of a
few simply questions, the system automatically calculates packing
and dispatch charges to any destination in Europe. Our aim is to
dispatch all orders within 48 hours of receipt of cleared funds.”
Despite being a young business, the team behind AntiqueLeatherDressing.co.uk
are serious about their niche market. It appears that, with a great
product and their efficient online presence, they have a winning
formula!
