New UKSMA Website launched

In line with some of the recent and forthcoming changes to the UKSMA (UK Spring Manufacturers' Association), we have re-launched an updated website. As well as providing a new look and feel, the interface between customer and supplier has now been streamlined. This makes it much easier to find a springmaker that can provide you with the springs you need. You can browse a list of our Member companies, search by location or on a map, or use our fully interactive search to find a list of companies matching your requirements.

We hope you enjoy the new site!
