Maccess Ltd

What Maccess Ltd does

Maccess Ltd (legal entity: Tetrosyl Express Limited) is a private B2B e-commerce platform headquartered in the Manchester area of the United Kingdom that distributes workplace essentials and automotive maintenance products to UK trade customers. The company operates exclusively through its Shopify-based online storefront at maccess.co.uk, selling primarily in bulk case quantities at wholesale-style pricing with free shipping on orders over £15 and standard shipping at £3.99. As a trading style of Tetrosyl Group, Maccess distributes a portfolio split across proprietary Nilco sub-brands — Nilbac®, Nilpure, Nilglass and Nilfog — and licensed third-party brands including CarPlan, Carlube, Hycote, T-Cut, Tetrion, Wonder Wheels, Car Gods, Rockland, and Swarfega, spanning cleaning supplies, paints, DIY materials, automotive fluids, lubricants, and gift sets. Customer verticals include hospitality (hotels, B&Bs), restaurants, care homes, retail/commercial environments, gyms, pet groomers, schools, and transportation (buses, taxis, trains), with motoring enthusiasts served through seasonal gift packs.

The company's core proprietary technology centres on Nilbac® dry-touch sanitisation, a patented formulation from Tetrosyl Limited that delivers room and surface sanitisation via fine-mist application at 40ml per second, capable of treating an 18–22 square-metre room in under 8 seconds. Nilbac® products meet BS EN 14476:2013+A2:2019 for envelope viruses, BS EN 1276 for bactericidal activity, and BS EN 13697 for surface disinfection, with claimed efficacy of 99.9% kill rate against bacteria and viruses including coronavirus. The companion Nilpure moisturising hand sanitiser line uses a 70% alcohol formulation with aloe vera extract, manufactured under HMRC Alcohol License on ATEX-rated equipment in accordance with ISO 9001. All IP and chemistry assets reside with parent group Tetrosyl, giving Maccess a manufacturer-distributor structure uncommon among pure-play B2B resellers.

Revenue is generated through one-time B2B product sales of bulk case quantities to trade customers, with representative unit pricing ranging from £5.26 ex VAT for 500ml Nilbac® Max Blast sanitiser to £26.32 ex VAT for 5L Nilpure Wild Stallion. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer in form (e-commerce checkout, phone sales support at 0161 359 8888) but B2B in substance (case pack sizes, trade pricing, ex-VAT display). Customer acquisition is e-commerce-first with secondary organic social presence on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Amazon, supplemented by an email newsletter and SEO-optimised product pages on the Shopify storefront.

• P&G Professional: Professional division of Procter & Gamble supplying cleaning and hygiene products to commercial customers including hospitality and facilities management.
