Integration Technology (ITL) and IST Metz have agreed to combine their UV-LED programs as both firms look to expand their presence in North America. The move will see ITL relocate its regional office to IST's Illinois building.

"For the past three years, ITL and IST have been developing complementary solutions offered through co-operative sales and marketing initiatives," comments Adrian Lockwood, ITL's managing director and chief executive. "Sharing physical resources is a natural extension of our alliance and a determiner in our mutual bid to increase market share in the region”.
