Kent, there are very potent suppliers in Europe, al least here in Germany, naming only Hahn & Kolb or Hoffmann Werkzeuge (AFAIK, the lagerst seller in Europe). Selling here is somewhat different from what America does, because these firms have a lot of salesmen visiting the customers so there is little need for online shopping. Selling for stock is done by these salesmen, for urgent needs per telephone. Customers that must obey to the public purchasing rules (Universities, firms with projects funded by tax money, workshops of the Public Hand, such as communities) have problems to use internet markets anyway. A little old-fashioned.
