Distribution deal signed for pneumatics products
Eriks UK has signed an extended distribution contract with SMC Pneumatics (UK), the world leader in pneumatic technology.
"The IKO product range has an excellent reputation for precision and quality, making it an ideal addition to Wyko's quickly growing automation business", comments Wyko Product Manager Steve Weaver.
"For IKO there is now a clear platform for both the company and the brand to move forward in the market", adds Bob Howell IKO UK Sales and Marketing Manager.
Wyko will stock a large part of the IKO range including needle roller bearings, rod ends and cylindrical roller bearings.
Increasing overall UK stock levels between Wyko's centrally based warehousing facility and 140 plus local branches is set to reduce delivery times and increase general availability; by providing direct access to such a large range of IKO products for the first time in the UK, Wyko is providing customers with far more flexibility, allowing more time to specify products and place orders.
IKO is a world leader in needle roller bearing technology.
It was the first company in Japan to initiate technical developments on the needle roller bearing, a design which offers machine builders a bearing solution that is far lighter and more compact than a conventional bearing employing round balls.
A high comparative load capacity adds to the list of features that translate into more efficient and smaller machines, saving money and resources.
Needle bearings are used in a wide range of applications from industrial machines to vehicles and office equipment, offering highly precise motion in automated production and assembly devices from medical testing machines to semiconductor manufacture.
With the continued growth of industrial automation, the market for these products is still witnessing growth where some traditional areas remain static.
