Inverters: payback in 12 months in HVAC?
No matter what area of plant control you choose to scrutinise, there are few optional equipment alternatives that offer the operational benefits and cost savings of frequency inverters.
Essentially the same company as before, the renamed organisation will continue to sell a wide range of Lenze branded products including motors, gearboxes and drives and will also offer many other established power transmission brands such as Panasonic, Servomech, Vogel, ETP and Tollok.
From the customers' viewpoint, they will see nothing more than a seamless transition from one name to the other.
Joint Managing Director David Foster says "The change underlines our association with a leading manufacturer in the field of drives and automation.
Whilst our customers will be offered the same products and services, it expresses our belief in the future success of Lenze products.
Looking ahead, we, and ultimately our customers, will gain from the financial strength and international standing of Lenze." The Lenze Group is a global company employing over 2,500 people generating sales of over £220 million.
Drive and automation products include geared motors, frequency inverters, intelligent servo drives and PC/PLC based controllers.
Lenze Limited will remain at the existing factory site in Bedford where currently 130 are employed, of whom nearly 50% are engineers.
From the Bedford site, power transmission products and services are supplied throughout the UK and Ireland. Request free introductory details about products from Lenze ...
