Our teams operate from a network of service centres covering the UK, Germany and Czech Republic, facilitating the supply of components and materials to manufacturing businesses using VMI solutions. This consolidates your supply base into one channel, reduces your on-hand stock holding, streamlines administrative processes which save you time and money.
Amidst this extensive service, our design engineering teams can directly support your Spring, Retaining Ring, Quick Connector, Seal and O-Ring and Retaining Ring application needs based on our deep relationship with manufacturing partners like Smalley and ARaymond and the extensive knowledge from TFC businesses such as EAP International and Supaseal.
Our global sourcing has access to a vast network of manufacturing partners that provide high quality, competitive and reliable sources for all of your fastener, seals, spring and other c-part level components. We can source customised, turned parts or “custom engineered components” to help you fulfil your design with cost effective manufacturing and supply.
Our VMI systems deploy Kanban methodology and state of the art technology to facilitate managing your stock for you, making sure you have only what you need, when you need it. Using our own teams based in local service centres, we hold reserve stock and feed it into your business based on demand and usage.
We act as an extension to your business, taking the stress out of managing your supply chain, ensuring you have the right products and the best products at the right price and on-time.
