theBPXhandbook

welcome to BPXWhether you are an existing customer

or considering using BPX for the first

time we hope you find this handbook a

useful guide to our company.

Over 40 years we have built a

reputation as a specialist, technical

distributor of industrial control and

factory automation products. Our

continued success - we are told - comes

from our commitment to product

support and customer service.

BPX continues to represent the best

of equipment manufacturers offering a

range of products across the control and

automation spectrum, from pushbuttons

and isolators to sophisticated process

control and computer solutions.

We now number over one hundred

people but remain a family business and

like to think that any customer can pick

up the telephone and be quickly given a

knowledgeable answer whatever the

question. It may be rare in these days of

multi-national corporations but long may

it last at BPX.

ChairmanBPX Group of Companies

BPX first opened for business in

1966. Since then substantial

investment in people, premises and

technology has helped us to become

perhaps the largest independent

distributor in the UK but we still believe

that distribution is a local business built

upon personal relationships.

There are now BPX branches located

in Leicester, Nottingham, Wakefield,

Northampton, Stoke, and Slough and

increasing business throughout the UK

and Europe from our online customers.

The complementary activities of BPX

and its associated companies ensure

that the BPX Group now has the facility

to supply all aspects of modern control

and automation systems from their

conception to their completion, from

crimp to computer all backed by first

class support and all with the famous

At BPX we recognise our customer's

need to remove cost from their supply

chain whilst enhancing the service level

they provide. Accordingly, we have

developed a range of services designed

to ensure that the products we supply

are accompanied by the service that

fits each customer's specific needs.

We actively work with customers who

use Just-In-Time (JIT) programmes by

offering a suite of services. We provide an

automatic replenishment service and

Kanban systems tailored to each

customers requirements. At the upper

level we will take responsibility for running

a customer's stores and incorporating

consignment stock. Each service is

designed to reduce our customer's costs

of administering, monitoring and

maintaining on-site stocks whilst

improving availability.

We can design and stock kits of

component parts. Each kit may then

be ordered as a single item and

supplied as a single consignment so

reducing administration, stocking and

handling costs.
