New partnership brings added benefits for customers

>Donghua Limited, the UK arm of one of the world's largest chain manufacturers, recently signed the deal with Medway and is pleased to add such a major UK distributor to its growing UK network of product partners and dealers. Ray Mifsud, managing director of Medway, said: "We are extremely pleased to be adding Donghua's high quality chain range to our existing portfolio of products."

>He continued: "We believe Medway is an excellent fit with Donghua as our huge range and stock-holding of sprockets, plate wheels and taper bushes complements their extensive range of chain. It means the power transmission trade can now go direct to one supplier, Medway, for all their PT needs and can pay the same price for their chain as dealing directly with Donghua. Medway is not an end-user supplier therefore reinforcing both companies strategy's to support sales through distributors."

>Bob Wellsbury, managing director of Donghua, commented: "It is imperative to us to support the PT trade, and add value for existing and new customers wherever possible, so we're delighted to be working closely with Medway who successfully sell into this trade sector already and are experienced in the supply of chain. We believe the partnership of two key players within the power transmission industry offers both Medway and Donghua trade customer's significant added benefits."
