ECD appointed Advanced Manufacturing Services (AMS) as its representative and distribution partner in the United Kingdom. AMS has served the electronics industry for nearly 25 years and has three locations across the United Kingdom and Ireland, staffed by a team of more than a dozen electronics professionals.
Emphasizing the importance of accessible local expertise, ECD President Tara Fischer commented on the decision to engage AMS to bolster its U.K. sales and support efforts. “Electronics manufacturers are navigating a climate of supply chain and geopolitical challenges, demanding production expectations and increasingly complex technology,” said Fischer. “There is little room for error, and a dependable, knowledgeable, hands-on support team is critical for success. That is precisely what AMS offers. We are thrilled to welcome them into the ECD network.”
Historically focusing on sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defense and industrial controls, the U.K. electronics manufacturing market is also experiencing growth in medical devices and alternative energy technologies. Enabling these applications requires process control, efficient production protocols and traceability. AMS believes ECD’s reputation as a soldering process authority makes it an ideal principal.
“ECD stood out to us for their innovation, product build quality and usability and deep understanding of customer needs,” shared Richard Jones, founder of AMS. “ECD, however, is far more than a product company. They are a solutions partner built on a foundation of integrity, trust, and a commitment to delivering exceptional technology and award-winning support. We look forward to a long and productive relationship.”
