Device Technologies Expands Their Reach Internationally With Five New Worldwide Distributors
5/5/2005 - DTI’s leading Spring Fast® wire protection grommet edging technology, Fast Drop™ radius bend control modules and Push Lok™ PCB Standoffs have new international channel partners Marlborough, MA – May 2, 2005 – Device Technologies', Inc., today announced the appointment of five strategically located distributors in Germany, France, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong for the Company’s high performance grommet edging and wire protection/management solutions. "This is one of the most significant developments in our twenty year history," Device Technologies President, Nicholas Petri said. "We are now well prepared to meet the demands of manufacturing expansion into Eastern Europe as well as Asia." Both Ettinger GmbH in Hofolding , Germany and Technicome.com in Trappes, Cedex , France will play a significant role in DTI’s ability to deliver innovative grommet and radius control module products into Western European design centers and Eastern Europe contract manufacturers. By the same token, DTI’s reach into the electronics and high tech industries will grow in Asia with its new channel partners there, Fastening Technologies in Singapore , Sugatsune Kogyo in Japan , as well as with Finetek in Hong Kong .
According to Ettinger GmbH President, Erich Ettinger, “Device Technologies and Ettinger share a belief in customer focused solutions driven by quality. Ettinger can offer the international DTI customer thirty years experience in the market of electronic component distribution. Our response times are the best because we utilize the best technology. This will ensure the fastest delivery on a wide range of products from the DTI portfolio.” Device Technologies suite of products includes: Spring-Fast Wire Protection Grommet Edging, Fast-Drop Fiber Optic Bend Radius Control Modules for cable management and Push-Lok Printed Circuit Board PCB Standoffs (spacers). Distribution/2 DTI has over twenty years experience manufacturing specialty fasteners that provide both off the shelf and custom collaborative design engineering solutions. Olivier Balloffet, President of Technicome advises “Technicome looks forward to applying its expertise in best in class customer support and delivery to bring Device Technologies’ suite of products into France . We at Technicome recognize that DTI products are superior in their ability to deliver a safe and secure environment for cables, wires and fiber to the international market.” Almost twenty years ago, DTI brought its first fastening technology innovation to the computer industry. Today, Device Technologies provides many of the major OEM’s with a solution from the Spring-Fast grommet edging suite of products. Spring-Fast High Performance Grommet Edging is the centerpiece of the DTI line. This nylon clad, stainless steel substrate is the “wire protection grommet edging” of choice for applications that include telecom, computers, switching equipment, construction equipment, medical units, and instrumentation. According to Petri, “Spring-Fasts’ ease of use replaces traditional nylon grommets, which require toxic adhesives to install. Nylon grommets eventually can dry out and become brittle - cracking or falling off the installed surface and leaving wires or tubing exposed to sharp-edged metallic surfaces.” Snapping on in seconds, Spring-Fast wire protection grommet edging significantly reduces installed cost by eliminating the need for application of heat or toxic adhesives (and the extra application media that goes along with them.) It also eliminates clean up and cure time. And as for performance it’s two and four-axis flexibility applies easily and securely to single and multi-planar applications and to small inside and outside radii. According to Marvin Chouw, Managing Director of Singapore’s Fastening Technology and Hong Kong ’s Finetek, “We already enjoy a strong partnership with DTI and are committed to making DTI’s customers successful. Our prompt communication with them as well as with the Asian based customer ensures that success.”
Jun Sugasawara, Executive Director of Sugatsune Kogyo in Tokyo Japan offers, “The SpringFast product and DTI product line introduces extremely high quality and reliable products into our overall Industrial Product portfolio. These product additions allow Sugatsune to help our customers maintain their high levels of quality and reliability in their designs and to reduce overall costs.”
