With its sales partner "Dong Loi Equipment & Service Co. Ltd", Leister has had a local presence for a number of years and is well placed for the future. 

​The sanitation costs for tiled rooms after a burst pipe or water damage often soar due to the need for re-tiling. This means high additional costs for insurance companies and house owners.
