Apico has become an off-road distributor for K-Tech suspension products. The deal will also see Burnley-based Apico expanding the existing UK off-road customer base, adding value to K Tech’s distribution of suspension parts and systems.
K-Tech, of Moira in Derbyshire, manufactures and re-sells suspension parts, supporting teams such as Gear Tech Suzuki in off-road and teams like PBM Kawasaki and TAS BMW in the road racing paddock.
K-Tech’s Chris Taylor said: “We’re looking to develop the K-Tech brand and our markets within the off-road sector and felt the distributor channel with an established customer base was the best route to market. We believe Apico, with its 30 years’ experience, was the perfect choice.”
Apico’s Dylan Brown said K-Tech’s range and experience would prove invaluable in helping Apico develop its knowledge within a technical market.
“We already have experience in this product category and look forward to developing our business with the extension of K-Tech’s product range.
“Looking to the future, our aim is to supply technical set-up training in our own fully equipped workshop. This will enable us to offer our dealers the best possible service and range of product for their customer needs.”
