Customers of B2K can now anticipate gaining access to IWIS’s globally recognised Elite, JWIS, and Felxon brands, renowned for their exceptional quality, innovation, and reliability.
“Our partnership with IWIS not only enlarges our portfolio but significantly enhances our technical support and service capabilities,” notes Trevelyan. “Our advanced engineering workshop is adept at delivering customised solutions with swift turnaround times, thus addressing the dynamic requirements of our customers.”
IWIS, headquartered in Germany, sees this collaboration as an opportunity to maintain and strengthen its presence in Africa, leveraging B2K’s extensive network and expertise. “Our alignment with B2K sets the stage for growth and success, keeping us optimistic about future advancements and expansions in the African market,” remarks Dr. Frank Mitzschke, CEO of IWIS Drive Systems.
The collaboration between B2K and IWIS unites two industry leaders, merging premier products with exceptional service and support, setting the stage for unparalleled advantages for B2K’s customer base.
