Brexit update
With (another) Brexit deadline looming, we are receiving questions from our customers about our readiness, along with being bombarded by ‘service providers’ eager to assist and give advice… So we thought it might be useful for us to update everyone on the actions we are taking to mitigate our own risks, and in turn, the risks of our customers.

AMDs are introduced into a system where fine …

Aside from our ‘new project’ sales, this is when we see a big increase in sales for ‘maintenance and repair’ reasons as some compressors fail to start up or work properly after sitting unused …
