Zuken has appointed Quadra Solutions, the sole distributor of CADSTAR within the UK, to also be the exclusive CADSTAR distributor in Benelux. Quadra's success has rocketed since it was started 10 years ago and it has become renowned for excellent service. Based on the glowing customer feedback from organizations in the UK, Zuken made the decision to expand Quadra's agreement to sell CADSTAR into the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg.

Since the company was established in 1999 by Stephen Dobson, Simon Dobson, Rob Hargreaves and Keith Watkins, the company has more than quadrupled in size. With over 80 years of collective experience in the PCB design and engineering industry, the Quadra team is predicted to make a big step forward in customer satisfaction and support available.

"We are proud to be promoting Quadra Solutions to sole distributor for Benelux as well as the UK and are confident that they will serve the new market well," said Jeroen Leinders, CADSTAR Distribution Manager. He went on to say, "they are a shining example of a growing company that has been able to leverage the experience of its key personnel, while adapting to changing market requirements. They not only have the vision, but the capabilities and customer focused attitude that make them a true asset to our CADSTAR distributor network."

Steve Dobson, Director of Quadra Solutions, commented, "We are delighted to be taking over as the new CADSTAR distributor in Benelux. We have worked hard at Quadra to establish a well experienced team who understand the current design challenges and can provide the right solutions. Following our success throughout the UK, we are looking forward to expanding to cover Benelux and working with new and existing customers in the area." To guarantee top quality local service, Quadra is opening up a local office to support their customers.
