Precision Springs move to United Springs

From January the 1st 2003, the current Precision Springs Division will move to United  Springs Division with a new brand name and logo.

Actually, after United Springs Ltd with its 2 English sites (Rochdale and West Bromwich) and United Springs BV with its Dutch sites (Coevorden and Hengelo)  that respectively adopted the new logo in 1997 and 2001, it is now time for the French activities (plants of Charmes and Mussey) to turn to this new brandname.

Doing like that, the Precision Springs activity, among the european leaders, will have a better identification from the markets and its international nature will be strengthened.
