Pbee 1256 Posted March 29, 2015 what do other people think of this Beetek make plastic frames and Ecroyd are beekeeping supplies Could bee a good move? Ordering boxes, roofs, floors, plastic frames, queen excluders or propolis mats or autumn Varroa treatment and you only have to deal with one person. No calling around. Or could bee a bad move? Like logistics or staff fail, power outages, natural disasters... Bigger is not always better. Prices may come down? Just thinking out loud...:rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deejaycee 2439 Posted March 29, 2015 I really hope it goes well for them... and I'm really looking forward to Ecroyd having a north island distribution centre hopefully bring down the freight component a bit for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Gillbanks 6495 Posted March 29, 2015 nd I'm really looking forward to Ecroyd having a north island distribution centre Waireka Honey Centre on State Highway one is the local rep in the Manawatu. It does save a fair bit on freight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deejaycee 2439 Posted March 29, 2015 of course, and we've got Arataki here in HB... but I find that I prefer to do my planning and purchasing at home, and usually outside shop hours, ie, online. So I use Arataki for the small or urgent purchases, but do my bigger orders direct to Ecroyd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnF 681 Posted March 30, 2015 Is this actually a merger? Or an acquisition by Ecroyd's? In which case you'd still have Ecroyd's in the South Island and Ecrotek in the North Island. Would have thought that one was far larger than the other for an even merger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katikita 375 Posted March 30, 2015 It will be interesting to see Ceracel's reaction. They are under new ownership sooooo ?? Healthy competition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Crowley 1130 Posted March 30, 2015 Will be interesting as the new shop for them is just around the corner from ceracels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would have thought that one was far larger than the other for an even merger! Definitely a merger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alastair 7901 Posted March 30, 2015 They need a different graphic designer. The symbol, and the name, are weird. I know the idea is 2 things joining. But they both still weird. Who wants to say Ecrotek? What else do I think? That the cost of frames might go up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DudleyBee 8 Posted March 30, 2015 This is good news, finally a decent competitor for Ceracell in the NI. Not sure why the price of frames would increase because of a merger. The name is ok - easy to remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
