HK Wentworth sole UK authorised distributor for Hakko

HK Wentworth’s heritage, high performance standards and customer-focused ethos, align well with the Japanese Hakko brand.

HK Wentworth has a long standing relationship with the Hakko Corporation spanning over thirty years and holds sole authorised distributor status for the brand in Australia and New Zealand. Following HK Wentworth’s recent acquisition of the UK’s previous distributor of Hakko tools, Dancap Electronics, Hakko are delighted to confirm the sole distributorship for the HKW Group in an additional territory. 

HKW Group have already invested in a brand new website for Hakko UK, offering customers the opportunity to purchase Hakko products via an ecommerce platform, something which has been long overdue for the region. To build on this new customer journey, an experienced and dedicated Sales Manager, Derek Dutson has joined the team to provide customers with technical support and knowledge as well as provide live demonstrations of tools as required. 

HK Wentworth’s Managing Director Ron Jakeman commented: “This represents a great opportunity for us and we are delighted to share our status as sole distributors for the UK and Northern Irish market. We are pleased to be able to build on our existing relationship and to expand the Hakko brand presence and are very positive for the future.” 

Derek Dutson Hakko Sales Manager added: “As a Japanese family owned business, Hakko pride themselves on the personal touch; for example, each and every one of their stations are signed by the designer in question. We plan to extend a very personal service to our customers here in the UK and Northern Ireland, offering friendly and knowledgeable support and a high quality Japanese brand.”
