  It is important that you can rely upon your supplier, choose from the X-Stk “Preferred Range” and be assured that the goods will be available when you want them.
  
• “Reduced Inventory”
  Engineers are faced by commercial pressures that restrict the amount of support goods that can be kept on their site.
  The X-Stk range provides you with rapid access to in excess of 2000 lines of Automation and Control Products which will solve most problems. See X-Stk as an extension to your stores
  
• “Simplified Product Selection”
  At times it can be difficult to select a specific product and any associated ancillary items from the vast ranges offered by the major component suppliers, the market demands that the manufacturers provide choice, but this can on occasion act to confuse: “is the part chosen going to be readily available, is it the latest widget?
  
  X-Stk makes your selection easy.
