Pellenc Launches the Essential Line

April 10, 2025/in Machinery, News, Press Release/by Admin

Pellenc Launches the Essential Line: Pellenc has announced the launch of the Essential Line – a range of on-board battery tools which offer a practical and cost-effective solution for maintaining green and urban spaces.

Pellenc is exclusively distributed in the UK and Ireland by Etesia UK.

Pellenc Launches the Essential Line

Known for its expertise in lithium-ion battery technology, Pellenc continues to develop lightweight, powerful tools that make life easier for professionals. The new range includes the Helion Essential hedge trimmer, two Excelion Essential brush cutters, Airion Essential blower, and the ULiB 200E and 400E batteries—providing a complete package for professionals seeking reliable and efficient tools.

Helion Essential: Trim with Ease

The Helion Essential hedge trimmer delivers exceptional performance for trimming and finishing tasks. Its 64 cm (24.8 in) blade with double-edged teeth ensures precise, clean cuts. The trimmer’s balanced design improves manoeuvrability, while its ergonomic swivel handle and protective guard enhance user safety and comfort.

The tool features an advanced HMI (Human-Machine Interface) that displays the remaining battery charge and allows the user to select from three cutting speeds. Compatible with the ULiB 200E integrated battery with up to 3 hours runtime and Pellenc’s ULiB backpack battery range, the Helion Essential provides extended operating time—ideal for professionals who need dependable performance.

Excelion Essential: Power Through Large Areas

The Excelion Essential brush cutter combines high performance with ergonomic design, making it perfect for noise-sensitive areas. Powered by a brushless motor, it boasts a cutting diameter of up to 460 mm (18.1 in) with the Tap Cut 3 cutting head, allowing professionals to cover large areas quickly and efficiently.

Available with a choice of double (cow horn) or loop handle models, the Excelion Essential adapts to different work environments. Its LED screen displays battery levels and allows users to select from three speed settings, adjusting performance based on the task. As with other Essential tools, it is compatible with the ULiB 200E and 400E (recommended) batteries with run times up to 2 hrs and the Pellenc ULiB backpack battery range, that offers significant increases in run time.

Airion Essential: Blow with Power and Comfort

The Airion Essential leaf blower combines power, comfort, and efficiency in a lightweight, ambidextrous design that reduces wrist fatigue. With its angled air intake, the blower limits strain on the user, enabling comfortable operation over long periods.

The blower’s LED screen provides real-time battery information and offers control options such as Boost mode for a powerful 23N thrust, Cruise Control, and three adjustable working speeds to suit different tasks. Quiet and lightweight, the Airion Essential is ideal for work in urban settings and noise-sensitive environments. It’s compatible with the ULiB 200E and 400E (recommended) batteries, with up to 2 hrs runtime for demanding tasks.

ULiB 200E & 400E Batteries: Compact, Reliable Power

The ULiB 200E and 400E batteries offer a reliable power source for all Essential tools. Compact and ergonomic, these batteries feature an easy-to-use clipping system and a clear battery level display.

ULiB 200E: Weighing only 1.4 kg (3.08 lbs), it provides 189 W/h of power, making it ideal for tasks where a balance between weight and power is essential.

ULiB 400E: At 2.4 kg (5.29 lbs), it delivers 389 W/h of power, perfect for longer, more demanding tasks.

Both models come equipped with RFID diagnostics to ensure consistent, reliable performance.

With the launch of the Essential range, Pellenc continues its tradition of delivering innovative, high-performance solutions for green space professionals. These practical and affordable tools combine power, comfort, and durability—ensuring that top-tier performance is accessible to all.

Pellenc battery-powered equipment is exclusively distributed in the UK and Ireland by Etesia UK.

Darren McMahon Joins Howardson Group as Head of Marketing

April 9, 2025/in News, People, Press Release/by Admin

Darren McMahon Joins Howardson Group as Head of Marketing: Howardson Group is pleased to welcome Darren McMahon as the new Head of Marketing.

Darren’s career has spanned several industries, with roles at Aga-Rangemaster, Valor Fires, and, most recently, Viessmann, a family-owned German company where he spent 14 years leading UK marketing, training, and public affairs. His extensive background in high-quality product manufacturing and customer-focused marketing makes him a perfect fit for Howardson Group, which includes the Dennis, SISIS, Hunter Grinders, and Syn-Pro by SISIS brands.

Darren McMahon Joins Howardson Group as Head of Marketing

Speaking about what attracted him to the role, Darren said:

“As a family-owned business, decisions are made for the long term. There’s a very high drive for product quality, which I believe is extremely important. Customers should receive the very best product that we can manufacture, and the product should do the job for which it’s purchased. To support these products in the Dennis, Hunter Grinder, SISIS, and Syn-Pro ranges, there’s a crystal-clear focus on delivering the kind of service our customers would expect from a premium business.”

Since joining, Darren has already had an immersive introduction to the industry. Within his first five weeks, he attended three major exhibitions in the UK and USA, met with dealers, customers, and industry experts, and even got hands-on experience using Dennis and SISIS machines on both natural and synthetic surfaces.

“I think I joined at the best time to get a good feel for the company and the industry,” Darren said. “It’s been incredibly busy, but I have a growing appreciation for the hard work that goes into the preparation and maintenance of playing surfaces by groundscare professionals and how difficult the job is.”

Darren’s vision for the role focuses on two key objectives:

“I can break my objectives down into two areas,” Darren explained. “First, is to protect the historic legacy that’s gone into building the brand perceptions and reputations of today as a result of the hard work of others up to this point. Second, it’s to use that strong base to support further expansion of the Howardson Group, both locally in the UK and Irish markets and more internationally around the world where there are further opportunities for high-quality machines coupled with superior service.”

Away from work, Darren is an avid cyclist, finding peace in long countryside rides.

“There’s nothing I enjoy more than getting on my road bike on a crisp day, heading into the countryside, and enjoying the beautiful country we live in but usually take for granted rushing from one place to another,” he shared.

Howardson Group is excited to have Darren on board and looks forward to his contributions in driving the company’s growth while upholding its legacy of quality and service.
