Redditch-based Solid State Supplies (
www.sssltd.com) — a manufacturer of computing, power and communications products — has agreed a distribution franchise for VPT, which is a global provider of power conversion solutions for power systems in avionics, military and space applications.
The franchise is for exclusive rights in the UK and Ireland, and it includes the transfer of the existing client base.
The deal was won due to Solid States’ military and aerospace knowledge, as well as certification to the AS9120 quality standard and VPT’s industry client base. VPT has been selling into the UK market for 18 years.
John Macmichael, managing director of Solid State Supplies, said: “The VPT product range complements our existing power operations.
“We are confident that our approach will increase sales beyond the current run rate and broaden the customer base.”
