Velox, a Germany-based, industrial raw materials distributor, will represent NuSil’s healthcare and engineering products in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. This agreement addresses the need for additional offices and technical centers to serve these rapidly growing, high-technology manufacturing regions.
