ABB has appointed Slater Drive Systems of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, as a partner for its range of dedicated HVAC drives. Users in the North of England will benefit from Slater’s wide experience in the supply and installation of AC drives in HVAC applications.
The company is already an ABB Drives Alliance Partner, ABB Motor Service Partner and ABB Instrumentation Partner, supplying customers with drives, motors and instrumentation. It stocks an extensive range of AC drive products, including the largest holding of IP54 HVAC drives, in the country. Slater Drive Systems also provides services such as installation, commissioning, energy surveys and drive hire.
"Slater Drive Systems has long experience of both drives and the HVAC industry," comments Mike Carman, UK sales manager, HVAC, at ABB. "Its appointment as a HVAC partner is a further step in ABB’s UK strategy in establishing a network of strategically-located HVAC partners."
"We are very pleased to further develop our relationship with ABB," comments Kevin Brown, managing director of Slater Drive Systems.
ABB’s dedicated range of HVAC drives provides all the features needed in HVAC applications and is competitively priced. ABB also has the best technical backup in the industry with 17 dedicated drives service engineers, which will help us to provide a fast and efficient service to our customers.
"Variable speed drives are becoming increasingly common in the HVAC sector. Over the last year, the Climate Change Levy has raised the profile of energy management within the building services industry and as a supplier, we have noticed an increased willingness from our customers to invest in energy efficient technologies," Brown adds.
