MORE THAN 10 MILLION FIXES FOR AWARD WINNING PRODUCT

The multi award-winning DIY product WETNFIX® has reached a sales level in excess of 1 million packets. This means that upwards of 10 million single WETNFIX® cotton discs have become wrapped around wall plugs and into toolboxes worldwide. DIY enthusiasts and trades people alike are overcoming one of the most common DIY problems: fixing wall plugs in oversized holes and in crumbly wall surfaces.

Just a year and a half after receiving the coveted Queens Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category from Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace, the owners of WETNFIX®, Monarch International (UK) ltd are reaping the rewards.

Through the brands widening distribution, people from all walks of life in many countries are able to fix the frustrating problem of wall plugs that don't fit tight. This has lead to increased sales world wide and with the people of USA and Canada now also finding a need for WETNFIX® in their dry walls (plasterboard), things are looking good for Monarch International (UK) Limited.

Monarch International (UK) Ltd's Chairman, Alan Stephenson commented:

We have a business model that means we can quickly respond to increases in demand from the trade and consumers. Looking back over the last few years Monarch has seen phenomenal success with WETNFIX®, however we are only really interested to look forward and in doing so we see the WETNFIX® sales graph continuing to rise and to some great new products ready for launch.
