Leeds CCTV transmission and control systems provider COE Group has signed a major outsourcing deal with Knaresborough electronics specialist GSPK Electronics

COE specialises in the design and supply of very high quality complete CCTV transmission and control systems, and supplies bespoke solutions for major clients all over the world. Its products are used in locations such as airports, city centres, government buildings and other commercial premises as far a field as Asia, Europe and the USA.

With AIM-listed COE Group's growing product range and increasing market share the contract is seen as a significant boost for GSPK Electronics, enhancing its strong reputation for high quality assembly and production of printed circuit boards and assembled circuitry achieved since it was founded by Graham Keddie OBE in 1964.

GSPK Electronics will produce COE's highly respected range of analogue and digital fibre transmission electronics that are used for transmitting very high quality video pictures for security systems.

COE systems provide video surveillance in the Singapore Metro, Stade de France and numerous UK city centres.

Established in 1989, the award-winning COE Group reported sales of GBP 5.6 million in 2004, and an expanding order book and changing product range have led to a need to outsource manufacturing to ensure flexibility and increased capacity.

COE selected two suppliers to share its manufacturing requirements.

DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary was retained to advise COE on the most appropriate structure and negotiate the best possible outsourcing terms for the company resulting in GSPK Electronics signing a contract for the production and testing of COE products.

GSPK Electronics has already started work manufacturing to the company's innovative designs and specifications.

'We looked at specialist manufacturing companies which could deliver quality, short lead times, and low prices while being as responsive as our in-house team had been'.

'We are delighted to have found the best supplier for this business just up the road in Knaresborough', commented COE Group Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wallace.

'We need to remain competitive in a growing and evolving market'.

'GSPK's professional approach and responsive culture were key factors in our decision'.

Commenting on the deal, DLA Piper's Iain Bowler said: 'This decision to outsource gives COE a very strong platform from which to grow their business while maintaining quality standards and product innovations in a competitive market place and it's great news that they have been able to use a Yorkshire specialist rather than look overseas'.

'The business has built a great reputation, and this will see the company able to focus on its market leading design and service with more flexibility and without the constraints of limited production capacity'.
