Technic, Inc. and STS Switzerland have announced their joint agreement whereby Technic will have exclusive sales and distribution rights in the US, Canada and Mexico of the STS vibratory technology, including STS' “Oscillant”, “Vibarrel®” and “Osciline®” products.

As part of this agreement, Technic’s proprietary plating equipment products will be represented in Europe by STS. This includes Technic's CDP-2000, an automatic controlled depth loose parts pin plater, SBE® (Spouted Bed Electroplater), and the Technic Tumbleplater®.
