Addison Saws (www.addisonsaws.co.uk), the West Midlands-based cutting- and sawing-technologies specialist, has been appointed as the sole UK distributor for bandsaw blades from Simonds International (after the previous distributor ceased trading).

Gary Knight, Addison Saws’ managing director, said: “Having sold Simonds wood-working and metal-working blades for more than 30 years, we are delighted to be appointed as the company’s official agent.

The oldest cutting-tool manufacture in North America, Simonds enjoys an enviable reputation for the quality of its products. We have invested in significant levels of stock to ensure continuity of supply.”
