Armada Supplies, the specialist hydraulic component and equipment supplier, has been appointed a Premier Stockist by Festo, so expanding the company's product portfolio to include pneumatic components. The appointment grants Armada Supplies exclusive distribution rights for Festo pneumatic products in a large part of Cornwall, from Lands End up to Wadebridge and across to St Austell. The area includes the important industrial areas around Camborne, Redruth, Truro and Bodmin, as well as the marine industries at Penzance and Falmouth.
As a result of this appointment, Armada Supplies now has direct access to over £33 million worth of stock held at Festo's customer services centre in Germany.
Adrian Durant, Festo's business development manager, comments: "Armada Supplies is a professional, service-oriented company. It has a superb track record in meeting its customers' needs, and a 24/7 service level. It has established an enviable reputation with many leading industrial companies in Cornwall, and is very active in the marine engineering sector."
Damon Wright, Armada Supplies' sales director, is also pleased with this outcome, adding: "We are proud to be associated with the UK's leading pneumatics supplier, and direct call-off from Festo's facilities in Germany will enable us to further accelerate our customer response times."
