In the USA, Icore International products are now supplied and supported by: Trice Marketing Corporation of Irving, Texas; Mannix Technical Sales of Ashland, Massachusetts; and QREP of West Melbourne, Florida.

"While we have already had substantial success in supplying our UK-manufactured products to export markets, we recognise that the key to further growth is to provide those markets with local access to products and support.
We are confident that our new partners will help us to achieve this in two of our most important overseas markets".
