We are delighted to be appointed as sole selling agents for this exciting business opportunity.
This family owned and run company has grown organically over the last 30+ years and specialises in the repair of varying sizes of hydraulic rams, which includes their ability to provide a hard chrome plating service as part of the package. The company operates in a sector of industry that is shrinking, this is due to the specialist and labour intensive nature of the work, and yet demands for its services are growing with greater usage in machinery of the very rams that they are able to repair. Their ability to offer the chrome plating part of the repairs gives the business a massive edge in providing a one stop shop for an enhanced range of repairs and, through not requiring the services of an outside source of chrome plating, shortening the costly downtime period for the machinery affected.
The repair of hydraulic rams provides a huge saving potential for the end user and, although down time for the machinery involved has to be calculated in to the equation, this company has always prided itself on its ability to provide as rapid a turn round as possible, dependant entirely on the nature and extent of the repair. With a cost factor of up to several thousands of pounds for new replacement units, it can easily be seen how the cost benefits are derived.
The chrome plating provided is of the hard non decorative variety used as a standard finish on newly manufactured rams. Indeed their ability to offer this facility is a rarity in the currently eco sensitive climate, where permission for a new facility would be very difficult to attain, thus rendering a distinct trading advantage to the business.
