“No such thing as a free lunch? Too good to be true? Well, I've been dining out on Qimtek for the last two years and it hasn't cost me a penny! In fact they have saved me a fortune in time, costs and material. My product has been prototyped and is now ready for production. You get the benefit of not just one firm doing your work as you can choose specialists in their field. Hence it's very cost effective AND FREE!”

“We have recently registered with Qimtek within the last 2-3 months, and have found them to be very helpful and professional with our enquiries into finding suppliers for our manufactured items. The company representative and additional team continue finding the right supplier for our needs. They are also very approachable and helpful in finding numerous suppliers, which makes us as a company more efficient in serving our customers across the UK. We at Ductec are very happy with service Qimtek provide us and will continue to use them in the future.

"Qimtek offer a really good free service, that keeps in touch with me when I need, and helps by sending information of possible suppliers, as well as finding additional suppliers (All within the UK) when I have the need; when my current supplier base can't manage my requirement. With having already looked at other services that are similar, the service offered by Qimtek is definitely the best, in my experience"
