Northern Precision, the specialist single-source supplier of fasteners, is now looking to expand further into Europe by appointing a distributor in Germany.

Building on its continuing success in supplying companies throughout the world as well as the UK, Northern Precision, the specialist single-source supplier of fasteners as well as special-purpose turned and cold-formed parts, is now looking to expand further into Europe by appointing a distributor in Germany.

Sales director Steve Smith is making the trip to this year's EuroBLECH exhibition in Hanover (26-30 October 2004) specifically in search of a suitable 'partner' company, and he is confident that the show will be the ideal venue for this.

"Our growing level of export business is proof that Northern Precision's philosophy of fully supporting our distributors - and therefore their customers - with full technical and engineering support by 'phone, email and on-site customer visits, is the only way forward," he says.

"Based on the response of our attendance at a number of other European exhibitions, there is no reason why our quest to find a suitable distributor in Germany shouldn't succeed.

In addition to be able to provide sheet nuts in a comprehensive range of diameters and lengths - including thin sheet, countersink, flat head and hexagon types - BS EN ISO 9001:2000 accredited NP also maintains an extensive variety of 5000 in-stock standard line items covering most applications and materials.

The company supplies self-clinching, high-strength and broaching fasteners, rivet bushes, weld nuts and studs, cage nuts and blind rivets, as well as special turned and cold-formed components to customer requirements.
