Harrisons Takes On Supply Of Edson Electronics Stencil Cleaning Rolls

Harrisons, a leading UK manufacturer of nonwoven wipes, has taken on the supply of stencil cleaning rolls to customers of Edson Electronics Limited of Amble, Northumberland.

Edson has built a strong reputation with electronics manufacturers in the UK and across Europe for its stencil cleaning rolls used in surface-mount printing, under owners Susan and Neil Woods, who are now retiring.

Harrisons has long been Edson’s main supplier of base fabric, so already knows the products and their customers’ requirements well.

Harrisons has purchased Edson’s production machinery, which has been moved to its Romford headquarters, and manufacturing will resume there in the coming days.

Customers will continue to receive the same products and specifications they rely on, with the backing of Harrisons’ manufacturing, quality and logistics resources.

The business sees the move as a chance to bring innovation to the sector. The company has recently developed more sustainable fabrics made from 100% natural fibres, and it plans to offer these to stencil cleaning customers.

Stephen Harrison, Managing Director at Harrisons, said:

“We’re delighted to be looking after Edson’s customers. Susan and Neil have built something of real quality, and we’re grateful for the trust they’ve placed in us. We wish them both a very happy retirement. Our priority is a seamless transition, and this also expands our international presence and lets us offer electronics manufacturers a genuinely more sustainable choice.”

Susan and Neil Woods said:

“We’re very pleased to be passing our customers to a company that already knows our products so well, and we know they will be in good hands.”
