Level Five Supplies provides superior customer experience and tremendous value for our customers.
Why? Technology developers and system integrators tell us that technology is difficult to find and tricky to purchase in the volumes needed in R&D. We offer a broad choice of outstanding products which are transparently priced, looking for new ideas and fresh approaches and partnering only with companies who want to do the same.
We produce more than just technical spec sheets, we want to share our experiences, and we want customers to be part of a wider family of technical experts supporting one another to get the basics right and accelerate your R&D.
Level Five Supplies has customers all over the world, and as a result, is usually able to offer flexible credit terms, and transact in GBP, EUR and USD. To support our many customers in the European Union, we also have French and Spanish-speaking colleagues, and a VAT-registered subsidiary in the EU.
