These new capabilities and extended product range provide Wescom's extensive global distribution network with the economic benefits of a single source partner with trusted large volume manufacturing, as well as the logistical expertise and experience required for handling time sensitive and highly regulated products.

"Wescom Group is the only manufacturer in the marine market to be able to offer a full range of life saving equipment," says David Duffin, Global VP Sales. "This capability brings our customers significant savings in procurement, and makes it is easier to manage all supplied products and services from one vendor."
