Greenwoods Communications, the UK's leading independent telecoms services company, has been chosen by the Swiss-based HUBER and SUHNER Group, a leading global supplier of components and systems for electrical and optical connectivity, as a preferred distributor for the railway industry. Greenwoods will be providing products including high performance cables, RFcoax connectors and assemblies, and fire resistant cables.

Following thorough research into the most suitable partner, HUBER and SUHNER chose Greenwoods Communications based on its experience with telecoms services in the rail sector. The partnership will ensure HUBER and SUHNER's products reach the UK market with the high quality standards that Greenwoods Communications maintains. Before turning to Greenwoods, HUBER and SUHNER sold its rail products direct.

"The decision to join forces and work together is a great alliance. Most companies are too broad and do not have the specialist capabilities that Greenwoods offers," said Steve Cass, sales and marketing director, HUBER and SUHNER. "Greenwoods already has an existing offering that complements HUBER and SUHNER's products for our target market and the partnership will strengthen our position as we benefit from Greenwoods' expertise and support."

"Supplying niche products requires specialist support, knowledge and experience and it is a fantastic vote of confidence to be chosen for these expert skills," said Bob Peters, sales and marketing director at Greenwoods Communications. "This endorsement will enable Greenwoods to better serve its customers in the rail industry with an improved and wider product offering."

Earlier this year, Greenwoods was awarded qualification status by Link-up, the UK rail industry's supplier registration and qualification scheme, following a detailed evaluation into Greenwoods' service capabilities.
