First blended in a Central Californian garage using a power drill and drywall blade, Slime has become one of the most widely distributed tyre sealant in the world, available in more than 80 countries.
Dominic Langan, Madison CEO, said “I am delighted to announce Madison as the exclusive distributor in the U.K. and Ireland for Slime tyre sealant and tubes. Slime is an iconic, environmentally friendly and globally recognised brand protecting cyclists from punctures for more than 30 years.
“Stock is available with immediate effect and speak to your sales manager or check out B2B now to access our spectacular margin making stocking-in options.”
