MSC joins Renishaw Channel Partner Programme

MSC Industrial Supply Co (MSC) has joined Renishaw’s Channel Partner Programme, marking the latest in a series of strategic partnerships to enhance its portfolio of metalworking and MRO industrial consumables. Renishaw is a global leader in high-precision metrology technology. Launched in 2021, the Renishaw Channel Partner Programme aims to increase the level of local customer service and support; partner companies are carefully selected based on their sector-specific expertise and range of cutting-edge metrology and manufacturing disciplines.

Under the partnership agreement, MSC will stock a broad portfolio of Renishaw machine tool probes and styli products. A series of Renishaw products will also be installed at the newly built MSC Technology Centre in Wednesbury to further improve its technical engineering support offering for customers.

Robert Hooper, category manager at MSC Industrial Supply Co, said: “Renishaw is one of the iconic names in British manufacturing, and we are pleased to have joined its Channel Partner Programme. The partnership will result in increased technical support from Renishaw, including training for our engineering and sales teams to gain a deeper understanding of Renishaw’s products. The MSC Technology Centre will also include Renishaw machine tool probing. This will allow our customers to not only see Renishaw metrology technology in action, but the MSC engineering team will also use the technology when conducting customer projects to find time-saving and cost-saving processes for production.”

Luke O’Reilly, Renishaw area sales manager (West Midlands), added: “It is a fantastic opportunity for Renishaw to partner with MSC to better support our customer base, as well as provide Renishaw’s industry-leading metrology solutions and high precision equipment to new customers. We are committed to working with MSC to help customers reduce cost and improve productivity.”
