SEKISUI SPI, which owns the KYDEX® brand, is a USA based global thermoplastics leader who invents and manufactures cutting-edge, proprietary thermoplastic products which are specified into demanding applications such as retail store fixtures, medical furniture, aircraft interior components, diagnostic imaging machines, and mass transit interiors.
The KYDEX® range will be distributed on a national basis by James Latham’s wholly owned specialist panel company, Advanced Technical Panels (ATP) which already has expertise in a number of these sectors.
In addition, the current ATP team will be bolstered by the appointment of two technical specialists, Michelle Sherris and Peter Crisp, both of who already have extensive experience and knowledge of the entire range of products as well as a strong background in technical and marketing support for KYDEX® in the UK.
The partnership between KYDEX® and ATP will be managed by Director, David Briggs and overseen by Lathams’ Limited Director Andrew Wright.
