The partnership, which was announced today (12 January), will see Flexible Reinforcements promote and sell Carmo components in the UK.

Carmo said it is working actively to strengthen its presence globally and already has strategic partners that manage local markets in countries including the US, Germany and Poland.

Carmo export account manager Jens Peter Nielsen said: “We want to provide our customers with the best possible service. To be able to offer good service, you need to know the markets and the challenges of your specific customers.

“With our new partner Flexible Reinforcements, this is exactly what we get. They are experts on their markets and will be able to offer highly qualified service to our customers in the UK. We are very happy with our new partner and the possibilities they bring to our customers in the UK.”
