Simon Thomas, joint administrator at Moorfields Corporate Recovery, said:“Teknoflex is a leading UK manufacturer and supplier with a strong reputation for providing high technology, niche products to a specialised market. With over 50 years experience and high quality in-house design, assembly and test facilities the firm has a solid infrastructure in place that I am confident has potential both in the UK and overseas.”

Shelley Bullman, joint administrator at Moorfields Corporate Recovery, said: “We have seen a number of manufacturing businesses suffer in 2012 following difficulties in the eurozone. As a result the market suffered a period of decline. Unexpectedly the Markit/CIPS UK Manufacturing PMI index showed an increase in December 2012 leaving the industry optimistic about 2013.”
