Electronic Controls Design (ECD), a leader in thermal profiling, has appointed Advanced Manufacturing Services Ltd. (AMS), an experienced electronics representative, as its distribution partner in the United Kingdom to drive business growth and strengthen customer relationships in the region. AMS has served the electronics industry for nearly 25 years and operates three locations across the UK and Ireland, staffed by a team of more than a dozen electronics professionals.

Emphasizing the importance of accessible local expertise, ECD President Tara Fischer comments on the decision to bolster the company’s UK sales and support efforts by engaging AMS. “Electronics manufacturers are navigating a climate of supply chain and geopolitical challenges, demanding production expectations, and increasingly complex technology,” says Fischer. “There is little room for error, and a dependable, knowledgeable, hands-on support team is critical for success. That is precisely what AMS offers. We are thrilled to welcome them into the ECD network.”

Historically strong in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defense, and industrial controls, the UK electronics manufacturing market is also experiencing growth in medical devices and alternative energy technologies. Supporting these high-reliability applications requires precise process control, efficient production protocols, and robust traceability. High-performance thermal profiling tools are a vital component in ensuring repeatable, reliable, and high-yield soldering processes that secure mission-critical assemblies.

Recognizing the critical role of advanced thermal profiling in today’s electronics sector, AMS views ECD's long-standing reputation as a soldering process authority as an ideal fit.

“ECD stood out to us for their innovation, product build quality, usability, and deep understanding of customer needs,” shares Richard Jones, Founder of AMS. “ECD, however, is far more than a product company. They are a solutions partner built on a foundation of integrity, trust, and a commitment to delivering exceptional technology and award-winning support. We look forward to a long and productive relationship.”

Since  July 1, AMS is ECD’s sole UK representative and distributor for its solder profiling solutions, including M.O.L.E.® thermal profilers, SelectiveRIDER®, OvenRIDER® NL 2+, and WaveRIDER® NL 2 machine quality management pallets, as well as the brand-new M-VP™ sealed barrier for vapor phase soldering processes.
