Our markets
With a pedigree that stretches back over 40 years
Cronex and the team have become known for their ability to manufacture and source quality products for the worldwide market.
At Cronex, part of the Thomas Dudley Group, we’re proud to represent over 100 years of British manufacturing expertise. From our base in the UK, we’ve established a strong international presence, supplying quality plumbing, electrical, and hardware products to key markets across the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. With a commitment to worldwide expansion, Cronex and Thomas Dudley have successfully entered new markets offering tailored product and logistical solutions for partners in various regions.
Our history in the Caribbean spans more than 40 years. We’ve built deep-rooted relationships in the region, where British-made plumbing and hardware products remain held in high regard as they meet the region’s unique demands for durability, reliability, and practicality. With a strong culture of DIY home maintenance and gradual homebuilding, our Caribbean customers rely on accessible, high-quality products that can stand up to the challenges of tropical weather — including intense heat, salt air, and seasonal storms. We deliver exactly that, offering British-engineered solutions designed to perform over time. In a region where hardware stores are essential community hubs and one-stop shops, our broad product range — from robust plumbing fittings to reliable electrical components and essential hardware — fits seamlessly into the daily needs of homeowners, tradespeople, and local merchants. Cronex has become a go-to name for those who value quality and consistency throughout the islands.
Whether it’s for residential developments, hotels, or commercial infrastructure, customers across the islands know they can rely on Cronex and Thomas Dudley for long-lasting, fit-for-purpose solutions. We cover retail, distribution and specification channels across the globe and understand the numerous and individual challenges faced by various markets. With this in mind we offer accordingly, with a focus on quality and reliability throughout.
Over the decades, we’ve also developed a deep understanding of international freight and logistics. Our experienced export team works closely with shipping partners to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery, whether by sea or air. We handle the entire process — from order placement to arrival at port — with precision and efficiency, minimising delays and reducing cost for our partners. Our extensive industry experience allows us to navigate the complexities of international trade with our logistical strength being key to the confidence our international customers place in us and plays a major role in maintaining our long-standing presence across these global markets.
From the Caribbean to the Middle East and everywhere in between, Cronex and the Thomas Dudley Group continue to grow — grounded in British engineering, backed by global logistics expertise, and driven by the needs of our customers worldwide.
