The result for customers is a faster and more responsive service with complete availability across the UK; catering for planned and emergency maintenance as well as quick delivery on one-offs, spare parts and regular batch deliveries.
Wyko already has one of the few Vickers QA approved repair centres in the UK able to handle the complete range of Vickers products including the large sizes often used in traditional markets such as the mining, aerospace, marine and defence industries.
Vickers has long been a pioneer in providing power and motion control components and its products include vane pumps, piston pumps, valves, cylinders and filtration products.
Paul Lynch, Wyko Fluid Powers' Commercial Manager describes this as "a significant change in the distribution policy for Vickers products and a positive move towards servicing and developing the UK market", he adds that "fluid power has been one of the major growth areas for Wyko over the last five years and the Vickers distribution arrangement makes sense for both companies now, as Wyko already has a long standing involvement with the maintenance and repair of Vickers products".
Eaton UK Sales Manager, Mark Ward states that, "We are very pleased to be on board with Wyko, we feel that the Wyko Group provides unmatched access to a huge number of businesses across the country, combined with a solid engineering support base that is essential for the Vickers product.
As a company, our focus is necessarily drawn by large OEM customers and we feel that there is significant scope for growth in the UK through the expansion of this national MRO distribution policy in partnership with Wyko".
All Vickers products and accessories are available from over 140 Wyko branches nationwide.
Access is also available via the Wyko branch network to experienced engineers who are available on-site and from Wyko's specialist technical advice centre for hydraulics based in Coventry. Request a free brochure from Eriks UK ...
