Sharper Fujikura moves to burn off increased competition
Increased and new competition in the splicer and test and measurement equipment sector has prompted Fujikura Europe to announce new list prices, a new guaranteed three day repair service, extended three year warranty and flexible payment terms.
“Without a doubt, we are experiencing an increasingly competitive trading environment,” said Roy Higgins, Managing Director. “We have established a name within our industry for supplying superior products which include features to make engineer’s lives simpler. We want to maintain our top position by offering extra value before, during and after the sales process.”
Fujikura Europe supplies a majority of all fusion splicers sold around the globe and this year launched a new range of splicers including its best seller, the 70S. This new splicer has improved reliability by resisting shock, rain and dust, allowing it to withstand a 30 inch drop test on six sides. Two of the newest features include an automated wind protector and a tube heater which has been developed for quicker splicing cycles and to reduce the number of operational steps. The unit also includes Core Alignment, a high-resolution LCD monitor, powerful Li-ion battery for longer operation time and built in videos for on-the-go training.
The 70S is being offered at £5,995 and for this low price customers will receive an extended three year warranty. If the splicer requires a service, Fujikura will guarantee a three day turnaround from its dedicated Service Centre. The company is also offering flexible payments to make the number one fusion splicer affordable to all.
