What Our Customers Say...

“Thanks for your speedy response about getting the inverter here yesterday. All fitted and operational.”
JW
Smurfit Westrock
“Can you pass our thanks to Mark for his help yesterday in getting the inverter to work in PID Control. The simulation works perfect and we can see it doing a job for us.”
M Shaw
UK Coal Mining Ltd.
"Reference to the most recent install of 3 off 22kW ACQ 580 VSD’s at Olton Ulverley Green SPS. Just wanted to provide some feedback post this installation and thank you and your engineers on a most superb job. Both Mick and Aaron worked in a very professional manner, engaging as they always do with the local SAP before commencement. The install went very well, VSD’s contained within the approved CEMA panels with a brilliant support structure fabricated on site to provide upmost stability for these panels. Commissioning was excellent with the resultant control philosophy being discussed with me, site was left in a very tidy fashion following completion. The paperwork was also top notch including the method statement and risk assessment, sent to appropriate stakeholders with plenty of time for review. Following the install, VSD characteristics were sent to me without any prompting, this being particularly useful for capitalisation purposes at year end. Many Thanks again for a great job done!!
L. Finney, Energy Project Manager
Severn Trent Water Ltd.
“Thanks again for sending someone out to assist at short notice. I really appreciate your help on the phone that you have given Brian in commissioning our new press line not many firms nowadays have the same values in supporting their customers that you do.”

“I made a call to Blaise late afternoon of the 30th of January in desperate need of a VSD to be installed at a site. Blaise @ IDS happily provided a rough cost and confirmed they could have a unit delivered and installed the next day and happy to provide one person and have one from AW assisting to help keep cost low and have a bit of cross training. The work went ahead and site all resolved, fast, friendly and professional service!”
CJ De Villiers
