Supply Technologies launches new tool-exchange programme


Supply Technologies has continued to develop its long-standing partnership with the global leader in precision fastening and assembly solutions, STANLEY Engineered Fastening, with the launch of a new tool exchange programme. As demand for the latest riveting technology increases, the two businesses have developed a tool exchange programme, enabling customers to trade in old air- or battery-riveting tools for the brand-new equivalent.


The exchange programme, which is available to current and new Supply Technologies customers, includes the responsible disposal of old tools under the WEEE regulations by one of its partners.


“The tool-exchange programme will help our customers upgrade their tool inventory as part of our ongoing component supply agreements, which are a key element of their manufacturing processes. Using latest technology is fundamental to supporting the efficient operations of manufacturers,” said Gary Russell, Supply Technologies’s Director of Business Development – UK.
