"When Ter-mate began trading in 1956", said Ter-mate Managing Director, Steve Swann, "our main product line was terminals, which we developed to suit specific customer needs".
"Although our product range is now much broader, we still retain the same approach - we listen to our customers, find out exactly what they need, and develop our products to suit".
"This process is the key to our continuing success", continued Swann, "and it is made much easier because all of our design and manufacturing facilities are in the UK".
"We're close to our customers, and manufacturing is under our direct control, so we can respond effectively and quickly".
Ter-mate has ambitious plans for building on its present success as it moves into its second half-century of operations.
In particular, the company is working on the expansion of consultancy services which will draw on its wide experience in the design and testing of electrical assemblies, and which will help Ter-mate's clients to save money and time by getting their own designs right first time.
Ter-mate is an expert in the design, manufacture and testing of busbar systems, terminals and associated products for use throughout the electrical industry.
With its own fabrication and moulding facilities, the company has total control over its products, allowing it to maintain the highest possible quality standards.
Ter-mate is quality approved by ASTA, and offers a wider range of ASTA-certified commercial busbar systems than any other company.
