Almost every time you make a quote there are more costs you want to include before sending it to the Customer, like shipping or packaging.

We are developing our product day by day to improve your trade relations in the automation world. We know you have a long-lasting partnership with many buyers.

For items with longer handling/lead time, we display “Ships In: [days]“ information.
