Rebuilt contactors maintain rapid transit services
An arrangement with Rowe Hankins Components for the rebuild of heavy-duty contactors, has provided Serco Metrolink engineers with a solution to a potentially serious dilemma.
Managing Director Toni Hankins explains: "Over the last decade our components and rail engineering businesses have developed side by side".
"Growth in both has been considerable and it made sense to transfer all our factored electrical products into Cudis and make Rowe Hankins a wholly dedicated rail safety engineering specialist".
Cudis has relocated to a new purpose built unit at Peel Mills in Bury.
The new unit with a 6m height to eaves will have high bay racking and will carry in-depth stock to support the growing national distributor network.
Cudis specialises in electrical components including circuit breakers, consumer units, control panel components and associated electromechanical devices.
The relocation of Cudis has opened up space at Rowe Hankins' Parker Street premises.
Substantial investment has been made to expand and remodel manufacturing areas for increased output and create a new engineering suite for design and development.
Rowe Hankins has also taken a major holding in Praxis Engineering.
This rail test facility near Warwick has a three mile test track and extensive workshop facilities.
"The developments at Parker Street and Peel Mills will be the springboard for a substantial growth in both businesses in 2008 and beyond", concludes Hankins.
