It is especially important to us as the ZEBEX range of scanners is of exceptional quality and very competitively priced.” Percival went on to say “We are extremely selective about our Supply Chain Partners, and work hard to ensure that not only are the products right for our market but that the Supply Partner has a flexible and dynamic approach to the market, and is willing to work closely with us in all aspects.
