United Utilities delivers 1.8 billion litres of water a day to more than three million homes and businesses across the North West. AUMA Actuators Limited’s new framework covers provision for the supply of a wide range of electric actuators, as well as technical and telephone support, and training.
Paul Hopkins, Managing Director, AUMA UK, says:
“AUMA Actuators Limited has built a strong relationship with United Utilities over the last few years, having previously been awarded a long-term framework for actuator service and repair. As part of the global AUMA Group, we are able to leverage our strong European manufacturing and logistics capabilities, combined with our comprehensive local component stockholding, to provide fast turnaround on the supply of a wide range of electric actuators.”
United Utilities’ core purpose is to provide great water for a stronger, greener and healthier North West, delivering its services in an environmentally sustainable, economically beneficial, and socially responsible manner. The company creates sustainable long-term value through a wide range of partner frameworks, such as the electric actuator framework and service and repair framework awarded to AUMA Actuators Limited.
AUMA’s extensive range of high performance actuators is designed using a modular approach to actuator components. Actuators can be quickly combined to provide a bespoke actuator assembly constructed to the exact requirements of applications.
John Heselwood, Technical Sales Engineer, is Northern Sales Representative for AUMA Actuators Limited, working with United Utilities. He says:
“This comprehensive framework is all about the supply and delivery of our wide range of electric actuators to support United Utilities’ engineers whenever and wherever there is a need.
“AUMA has demonstrated its considerable technical capability and competence, in terms of disconnecting and removing actuators from valves and penstocks. This, combined with our expertise in both on and off-site repair, and reinstallation, testing and commissioning makes the company an aligned partner in this important supply framework.”
