The company was formed in 1981 to supply local industry with process control and automation equipment. This has developed over the last 28 years to incorporate pneumatic equipment, hose, ducting and associated products around the requirements of our customers. Our aim is to maintain a professional yet personal service to all of our customers. We are small enough to care, but large enough to provide a professional service with backing by all of the main manufacturers in the industry.
We are located in a purpose built business centre located in St Leonards on Sea near Hastings in East Sussex. Ideally located to several industrial areas and within reach of transport links.
We are are proud to be an independent and family owned and run business. You are more than welcome to come visit us today - see our contact us page for details.
