Somerset Solders has been supplying solders and tools to the electronics industry since 1993. The Company began trading as MR Technical Services in the early 1990’s, supplying UK businesses with a range of tin-lead solder wires, solder bars, and fluxes. With the emergence of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and subsequent process changes within printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, MR Technical Services became a key supplier of quality solder pastes. In 2006, Somerset Solders’ founder and director, Mark Day, acquired MR Technical Services, who with 30 years’ experience in the PCB manufacturing and assembly industry, expanded the product portfolio.

 

By 2011, when the trading name had changed to Somerset Solders Ltd, the Company had become a major distributor of electronic assembly consumables and tools. With the acquisition of Benz Ltd in 2014, the product range expanded again with products specifically for SMT production.

 

 

Somerset Solders supplies leading manufacturing companies in the field of electronics, whether at the full production assembly phase or product development stage.
