Count On Tools Inc., a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, appointed The AdoptSMT Group as its newest distributor for the European electronics manufacturing market effective March 1, 2012.

It is extremely important for COT to identify a partner that shares the same goals as we do and has the ability to provide our customers with first-class service, support and a distribution network across Europe,” said Zachery Shook, Marketing Director for Count On Tools. “The AdoptSMT Group clearly fits the stringent criteria we have identified to promote our line of SMT nozzles, tools and consumables effectively, and to allow COT to move the business forward in this key strategic market.”

The Count On Tools name is well-established in the global electronics manufacturing industry due to its strong support of leading EMS companies and component manufacturers worldwide.

The partnership between COT and AdoptSMT is an ideal combination between two companies that are completely committed to making the best products and services available to the market. COT’s products will complement the AdoptSMT Group’s current selection of refurbished machines and spare parts assortment, further strengthening the AdoptSMT Group’s position as the leading source for quality used SMT equipment in Europe.

Erhard Hofmann, Managing Director and Founder of AdoptSMT Europe GmbH, said, “Count On Tools is the perfect fit for us. They match our high-quality expectations and are solution-oriented to the best of our customers. The special nozzles give us the chance to show our customers competence for excellent cost saving solutions and to win new customers for the standard program.”

As the European Sales Manager, I am glad the agreement with Count On Tools covers all of Europe, so that all of our sales engineers throughout Europe can represent their complete product range,” added Günther Breckner of AdoptSMT Europe GmbH.
