Bringing the supply chain together

Effective communication
We’ve created an easy way to pass project ideas backwards and forwards by building solid relationships with our partners. Our customers' most successful projects are ones where we’ve worked closely together, often designing entirely bespoke solutions for their unique demands.
More than just hardware distribution
Our partners play a major role in our business, and often have key involvement in the success of our customers' projects. If we’re not sure of the best solution, we’ll ask, and if it’s beneficial to the project, we’ll involve our partners in customer meetings and events.
Knowledge, shared
Because we’re proactive in continuing to exchange knowledge of markets and innovation with all of our key partners, our customers benefit from being the first to hear about the latest cutting edge technologies ideal for market specific projects.
Did you know?
We have been partners with some of our worldwide manufacturing partners for over 20 years.
Did you know?
We visit all of our technology partners in Taiwan, Europe and the US regularly to keep our relationships moving forward and learn more about their capabilities and latest innovations.
