Closing mid October as the owner is retiring. In addition to 75% off remaining stock, if you’re local to Syston, Leics it’s well worth calling in as there’s various unboxed or incomplete items at big reductions and some free stuff such as DROs that will need some attention to get working plus free hard hats! And lots of cheap storage bins of course….

Funny really, the more we clear, the more we find to add to the ‘FREE’ pallet and incomplete/obsolete/sample pile.

The things we acuminated over 25 years… and never got around to dealing with!

Starting to clear my office, which has a lovely library of bearing reference books. If anyone wants them, please send me a private message. Happy to post/courier them – free of charge – whole lot – about 25 manuals.

Just an update as we are getting telephone calls asking if we are still taking orders.

Our regular stock is now sold out. We still have the ‘FREE’ pallet and counters with samples and bits and pieces for sale over the counter – ranging for £1.00 to £30.00 subject to un-sold, along with linbins in various sizes. These products would normally be a lot more expensive, but we are looking to clear.

We have about 12 off – 8″ bench grinders left – plastic holder for the light damaged. They would normally be around £200.00 each, but as damaged, sold as seen at £25.00 each over the counter.

At present we are open daily until 4pm – Monday to Friday.

Regret I am unfit to travel, or I would be there for the ‘jumble’

Very best wishes to you, Ketan

Hi, I would’ve liked to have a look round, but it’s too Farr to go on the off chance of not finding anything I’d want, although a few Linbins are always handy, I did think about calling in yesterday, after taking my exhibits to the midlands show, but on my way there, it was all stop on the Western Front, to which I guess there must have been a pile up or something, as I saw an Ambulance racing away and another one racing too whatever the hold up was, followed by a Police car, all with blue lights flashing and sirens waling, and so had to turn around and go a different route, and so I’d had enough driving before coming back home.

Regards Nick.

It’s the end of an era with Arceurotrade gone, been my go supplier of machines and tooling.

Going to be hard to find a replacement you knew if it came from Arc it would be good.

Thanks Ketan and the team.

Extremely sad to see Arc Euro close.

Came to regard Ketan and the staff as friends, who were always ready to help, and looked forward to visiting, even for small purchases.

Can only express Thanks to Ketan, Ian and all the others for their help and kindness over the years.

Hmmm…I didn’t realise that Arc would still be open this long.

I have to pop up to Coventry to pick up some auction loot next Monday or Tuesday (26th or 27th October.

Given I’m heading up to the east Mids I might pop over.

Ketan, do you think I might find something of interest by then?

Ah well, it would have added another hour and a half to my day of driving, so fair enough.

It’s a damn shame Arc EuroTrade couldn’t get a buyer. It’s like hearing your old primary school is no more and a bunch of flats have been built in the site.

Just hope the staff are okay.

Yes – very sad to see it go. I have bought quite a few items from ARC over the years.

Best Hopes for the future, Ketan and everyone else there.
