Simon Winfield, MD at Phoenix Sealing, comments: “EDCO is a natural partner for Phoenix. They have a great company ethos and their business ethics based around quality and service are very similar to our own. EDCO is a leading solution provider in the MRO market and if you add the technical back up and expertise of the Phoenix Group, I believe that provides a strong market message.”

Craig Eddas, MD of EDCO Seal & Supply added: “This is a great fit for both businesses as it allows EDCO to develop the product offerings to our growing client base. With excellent technical back up and most importantly, quality products, I believe that Phoenix will be a key partner in our future development plans.”

EDCO has opened a new £2m, 20,000ft2 distribution centre in Enderby, Leicestershire and Phoenix has moved to new premises in Chesterfield, investing heavily in stock, manufacturing and R&D facilities.
