The Fox Group Inc., a leading manufacturer of ultraviolet (UV) wavelength LEDs, has appointed AP Technologies Ltd., Bath, United Kingdom, as a distributor in the UK and Ireland for all of Fox Group’s lines of LEDs.
AP Technologies provide UK and Irish customers with a highly qualified local sales channel providing technical and commercial support with the objective of providing solutions which help them to compete in their markets.
"AP Technologies is very pleased to extend our LED offering to include The Fox Group’s UV devices,” said Martin Sharratt, Director of AP Technologies. “The 350-365 nm range is 'the new frontier' for LED technology and The Fox Group is well-placed to stimulate this market with an exciting technology roadmap for wavelength reduction and efficiency improvement."
