Cubralco: Supporting Merchants and Installers with Z-Press Tools and Leading the Way with the 3R’s Campaign

Cubralco’s role as a distributor goes beyond supply. As the official importer and UK channel partner for Zupper, Cubralco ensures that every Z-Press tool and accessory is fully compliant with UK regulations, tested for quality assurance, and supported through established merchant networks.

By working closely with plumbing and heating merchants, Cubralco helps stockists offer a complete, reliable product range to their trade customers. From technical advice and marketing support to after-sales service and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) compliance, Cubralco delivers a structured and transparent process that benefits the entire supply chain from manufacturer to installer.

Empowering the Merchant Network

Independent Merchants remain the cornerstone of the UK plumbing and heating industry. Cubralco’s distribution model is built around enabling Independent merchants to confidently support their installer customers. Through structured stockist programs, product training, and promotional resources, Cubralco helps merchants position Z-Press tools as a professional, future-ready solution.

• Stockist support: tailored product packs, promotional displays, and technical data sheets.
• Marketing assets: co-branded materials highlighting the benefits of Z-Press’s precision, power, and reliability.
• After-sales confidence: Cubralco coordinates tool servicing, spare parts, and WEEE-compliant collection of end-of-life units.

This joined-up approach ensures that both merchants and installers have access to premium tools backed by dependable UK support a critical factor in the professional trade environment.

Designed for the Installer

Z-Press tools, developed by Zupper, have become synonymous with high-performance press technology. Models like the MP-1930 and PZ-1930 feature ergonomic design, fast crimp cycles, and advanced lithium-ion batteries for extended use on site. These tools are built to handle the most demanding applications, from commercial HVAC systems to domestic copper installations.

Installers benefit not only from the tools’ quality but also from the local service infrastructure that Cubralco has developed. With dedicated distribution channels and UK-based technical support, installers can access spare parts, maintenance advice, and compliant disposal options with ease.

The 3R’s Campaign: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

As part of Cubralco’s wider sustainability and compliance commitment, the company will soon launch its 3R’s campaign standing for Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. This initiative forms a key pillar of Cubralco’s WEEE & EEE responsibility and reflects its proactive approach to environmental stewardship within the plumbing and tool distribution sector.

The campaign will introduce a structured take-back scheme for Z-Press tools and batteries, ensuring that old or end-of-life equipment is responsibly collected, assessed for reuse or refurbishment, and recycled wherever possible.

• Reduce: designing and sourcing tools that are durable and efficient, reducing waste over time.
• Reuse: assessing returned tools and components for potential refurbishment and extended use.
• Recycle: working with certified partners to ensure compliant and traceable material recovery.

Through the 3R’s initiative, Cubralco is reinforcing its role not only as a distributor but also as an environmental partner helping merchants and installers transition toward more circular practices.
