DISTRIBUTOR CELEBRATES 21 YEARS OF OPERATIONS AS IT WITNESSES YEAR ON GROWTH YET AGAIN
31 May 2003 - Switchtec Electronics Ltd

Distributor Switchtec is celebrating its 21st anniversary. Set up by relay guru Alan Lester in 1982, the company has witnessed steady, planned growth since its days of operating from Alan's home at Alton in Staffordshire.

Operating as a UK franchisee for world-wide manufacturers of quality components, Switchtec is a leading specialist in the supply of electromechanical, electrical and electronic components.

Switchtec now supplies over 7,000 products from stock, with access to many more, from eight franchises and has an annual turnover in excess of £2M. At its purpose built premises in Stone (Staffs), the company employs twenty people and represents quality brands such as Finder, Vemer, Infra, Sirena, Rafi and Euroclamp.

Offering both technical and sales support, Switchtec has continued to grow year on year, even through tough market trading conditions. General Manager Steve Pounder said, 'Since I joined Switchtec in 1999, I've seen the marketplace become much tougher as a result of global sourcing and the general downturn. We have concentrated on what we do best; the provision of a first class distribution service, coupled with an all embracing technical back up service that is second to none.

'Rarely does a day go by that we do not pull out the stops to get someone over a problem. That is why our customers remain loyal to us, we're prepared to put in time and effort help them out.'
