Surtech Distribution had a long-standing close relationship with APW, who referred the majority of orders below their OEM minimum to Surtech for fulfilment. Mike Johnson, Surtech Distribution's Sales Director, said, "Many existing Surtech or APW customers have been understandably worried about future security of supplies when APW products are designed in, but there is no need for concern because Surtech has secured future supplies from the companies that have purchased the tooling and IPR of various APW products from the administrators. In the short term, Surtech holds more than £400k of APW stock and will almost certainly be able to satisfy typical orders from stock; the existing Surtech service of configuring racks and subracks to specific requirements continues." *** Ends: body copy 162 words *** Notes to editors.
