EZ-base helps small businesses in the tooling and PPE industries to get their online product data correct, enabling them to increase sales and compete against larger national companies. The move is part of its expansion plan.
The firm is part owned by the five largest buying groups in the Netherlands including Zevi Necomij and Exeter industrial tools and equipment business The Troy Group, where it was based prior to its move to Exeter Science Park.
