EMS and Fascia Graphics® - A twelve year relationship
Fascia Graphics®, the market leader for the production of membrane keypads and graphic overlays in the printed graphics industry, approached Chris Page, Purchasing Manager at EMS in 1995 to introduce the company and explain how Fascia Graphics® could improve quality and service. Chris Page comments: “At the time, we were using a competitor to manufacture our Membrane Keypads, but Fascia’s competitive quote and personal approach tempted me to use them for a particular project, and I have not looked back since.”
Over the last twelve years Fascia Graphics® has increasingly been involved in new product developments at EMS and is now the sole supplier of Membrane Keypads, Graphic Overlays, and Labels to the company.
Chris Page, concluded: "I am without doubt that Fascia Graphics® is the best in the business. Fascia has been a supplier to EMS Supplies Ltd for over 12 years. I do 'price checks' with new suppliers from time to time and find Fascia to be very competitive in the market, and their quality is first class!”
“I would also recommend Fascia Graphics® to companies that require quick turnaround of product for prototypes.Our ability to show professional prototypes at exhibitions with purpose built and high quality Membrane Keypads and labels has certainly helped our product sales.”
