"WEG's business in the UK is experiencing extraordinary growth and our user base is growing all the time".
"Our new partnership with Wyko means that we are able to support this growth, both through the substantial stock of WEG products that Wyko is holding, and through the engineering skills that Wyko brings to support our products and look after them throughout their operating lives." Under the new agreement Wyko is holding well over GBP 100,000 of stock of WEG LV motors at its central stock facilities in the West Midlands.
The stock covers a wide range of motor sizes, including some of largest available in the UK.
As a result, Wyko will be able to satisfy the majority of standard delivery requests in 24 to 48h, or even the same day in emergency situations.
For larger sizes and some non-stock items, WYKO will draw upon the GBP 2 million motor stock that WEG holds locally in Redditch, a facility less than 10 miles from Wyko's store.
The ranges of WEG motors offered by Wyko includes high efficiency, premium efficiency, explosion-proof and brake motors.
These are complemented by motor starters and LV switchgear.
Increasingly, motors and drives are sold as packages, and these will benefit from 3-year warranties.
What this means for customers is greater security of purchase and a single source responsibility for the equipment supplied, which, with Wyko's extensive UK network, is usually locally situated".
""Wyko is strong on supplying extended warranty products," said Whetstone, "So the agreement with WEG fits in very much with our philosophy".
"We are also strong when things go wrong, providing a unique, balanced repair or replace ethos that brings objectivity to the economics of a decision to repair or replace equipment".
"We can also help our customers with the timing of these decisions, by providing up to date information on the health of drive equipment using our condition monitoring services." * About Wyko Industrial Services - Wyko is one of the largest suppliers of maintenance and repair products and services in the UK and boasts one of the most highly qualified teams of engineers in the industry.
