The well established Moira based motorcycle suspension company
K-Tech Suspension Limited has announced significant development
plans and the launch of a new product after securing a funding
package through NatWest.
The successful K-Tech Suspension was founded in 1997 by Ken

suspensions, specialising in racing. The company employ 12 people
who boast over 75 years combined experience working with
suspensions at all levels of racing including World Superbike,
World Super Sport, BSB Championships, AMA Championships, World MX,
British MX, World Enduro, World Rally Championship and F3. With
their skills and knowledge K-Tech Suspension have maintained an
impress continuous growth and development.
Although the company has been very successful, the directors are
not sitting on their laurels and are now looking to increase the
availability of their products worldwide to cope with growing
demand. They are also aiming to make it easier for customers to
obtain the parts they need and to raise K-Tech's profile in the
performance motorcycle suspension marketplace. With this in mind -
and with the financial support of NatWest Commercial Banking in
Derby - they have developed and now launched their 35 DDS racing
shock absorber.
Chris Taylor, Director of K-Tech Suspension Limited, said: "The
Company has thrived over the last ten years as we have continued to
develop our products, and most importantly have delivered the goods
and services our customers want through our Parts, Workshop and
Manufacturing departments. Because of our professionalism,
knowledge and skills, we have grown and grown our business from
small garages to what it is today. The key to our success has
been ensuring we bring the right product to the market and we know
that the 35 DDS racing shock is the right product."
Mark Tunley, Director of Business Development at NatWest
Commercial Banking in Derby said: "I'm delighted NatWest have been
able to help K-Tech Suspension with the financial package to
support the development and launch of the 35 DDS racing shock
absorber and in turn support their continued growth. It has been a
pleasure working with Chris, Ken and their wives Deborah and Sadie.
In these challenging economic times, it really is great news to see
a local business not only thriving, but also growing."
