Erichsen, manufacturers of precision materials testing equipment, has strengthened its sales presence and local customer support in the United Kingdom by selecting Intertronics as a new distribution partner for its sheet metal testing, surface testing, corrosion testing, and materials testing products.
Industry-wide and OEM-specific standards across automotive, packaging, coating applications, and other sectors, specify tests that can be completed with Erichsen instruments. The agreement gives UK manufacturers easier access to Erichsen testing equipment used to support qualification, quality control, and product development activities.
Technical expertise for demanding applications
Intertronics is a leading UK supplier of adhesives and protective materials, dispensing application and automation systems, and surface measurement and materials testing instruments for advanced manufacturing.
“Intertronics has extensive experience working with manufacturing companies on technically demanding adhesive bonding, dispensing, and surface testing applications,” said Ludger Wahlers, Managing Director, Erichsen.
“The company specialises in adhesive bonding and coating technology, dispensing, curing, surface preparation, and surface testing. Our customers in the UK will benefit from a combination of high quality testing technology, expert advice, and a strong understanding of industrial manufacturing processes,” said Wahlers.
“Erichsen’s globally recognised materials measurement and surface testing technology significantly strengthens the capabilities we can offer customers across the UK and Ireland,” said Ben Swanson, Joint Managing Director, Intertronics.
“Through our partnership with Erichsen, we see a real opportunity to build on our complementary strengths and develop a substantial business together,” said Swanson.
