IHS Europe, the Cheshire-based materials handling system designer, is bucking the recession-hit UK trend by putting out a call for more distributors – specifically for its range of pallet-wrappers. Brendan Hayes, co-founder and director of IHS Europe Ltd, said: “Our business is growing and we would like to offer distributorships to help expand the breadth of our customer base. Pallet-wrapping is found in a diverse array of industries, from potato farmers to high-speed bottling plants. So we are actively seeking distributors who already have good contacts in such sectors and see the potential of our equipment and service.”
