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.”

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.
