Test Research Inc. (TRI) Announces Distribution Partnership with Forwessun UK
TRI, the Taiwanese automated inspection manufacturer, recently announced an exclusive UK distribution partnership with Forwessun, a custom test fixture designer and manufacturer.
The move brings TRI’s industry-leading test hardware into Forwessun’s existing capabilities in fixtures, software and turnkey delivery, allowing UK&I EMS providers to access full turnkey test services from a sole provider.
This significant step in UK&I test accessibility means a production line being built or upgraded can now source test systems, software and fixtures from a single supplier.
Forwessun will also support the full life cycle of the equipment, including installation and maintenance, for TRI systems purchased in the UK, providing customers with a one-stop solution rather than separate channels for each piece of hardware.
Lee Fielding, General Manager of Forwessun, described the partnership as a natural extension of their existing business:
“Traditionally, our involvement has focused on delivering full turnkey solutions, custom test software, and robust test fixtures”, he said. “With this relationship, we can now provide a completely integrated board testing solution for our clients, significantly enhancing test coverage, efficiency and reliability across the production lifecycle.”
Announcing the deal, TRI pointed to Forwessun's engineering expertise and established customer base as the deciding factors, with the manufacturer's technical support capabilities cited as making it the ideal partner to expand TRI's presence and deliver outstanding value to manufacturers across the region.
"Their deep engineering knowledge, strong customer relationships, and exceptional technical support capabilities make them the ideal partner to expand TRI's presence and deliver outstanding value to manufacturers across the region," said TRI Europe Sales Manager Anthony Wang.
For TRI, this marks an expansion into the European and North American markets, harnessing the ICT industry contacts and established recognition of a global company such as Forwessun.
With decades of experience in the test industry, Forwessun will likely excel in the introduction of a new system to their lineup.
