Norgren presents Activ-Air with "˜Distributor of the Year' award
Norgren, a supplier of pneumatic motion and fluid control technologies, has named a key distribution partner "Distributor of the Year'. Activ-Air received the award for its commitment to high service levels and extensive knowledge of the local market, in line with Norgren's key objective of delivering "Engineering Advantage' to its customer base.
In addition to excellent technical knowledge, Surrey-based Activ-Air was also acknowledged for its ability to offer systems and sub-assemblies that include Norgren's products. The award was presented to Russell Davison, managing director of Activ-Air, and Martin Curtiss, head of pneumatic sales, by Martin Geobey, UK & Ireland sales & marketing director at Norgren.
Martin Geobey comments: "A good distributor supports our value proposition, and that is exactly what Activ-Air has done. The regional distribution network is very important to us for adding value to our business through technical expertise on Norgren products, promoting our brand and specialist knowledge of the customer base.
"By understanding our customers' needs, a distributor such as Activ-Air helps to strengthen and expand our contact with the five main sectors we focus on - rail, food and beverage, commercial vehicle, energy and life sciences - as well as ensuring our products reach new key players in the manufacturing sector.
"Delivering "Engineering Advantage' to customers is a key differentiator for Norgren and is more usually associated with the company's strategy of designing bespoke solutions for its OEM customers. However, the term is equally applicable to our distribution network when applied to added value sales and service. This is the first "Distributor of the Year' award we have created. With the largest individual order for the London Underground last year, Activ-Air's win is very much deserved."
Norgren's product ranges include actuators, pneumatic valves, fluid control valves, high pressure regulators and air preparation products for a wide range of applications where they play a role in reducing downtime, optimising performance and cutting energy consumption.
