Would your bottom line improve if maintenance concerns and expenses were reduced?
Many companies are aggressively working to improve production techniques and more effectively utilise existing resources, to reduce operating costs and save money. For these companies, outsourcing system maintenance and repair responsibilities has proven to be a highly effective management strategy. Options from Power Drive Services have allowed our customers to fully apply this approach. We provide a nationwide maintenance service on fixed price annual contracts or an individually priced basis with short-term solutions available to cover staff holidays and sickness as well as those days when everything seems to break down at once.
Power Drive Services Ltd is a full-service control-system design, build and trouble-shooting company, providing customers with cost-effective maintenance solutions. We provide exceptional service and workmanship at reasonable prices. Just as you need to be sure about your equipment’s reliability, you need to be secure in the knowledge that the people responsible for looking after it are dependable, trustworthy and accountable. We are often called to breakdown situations where the machine has been stopped for 2 days or more despite in-house or locally sourced attempts to trace the fault. With more than 40 years of systems-engineering experience, our staff are keenly aware of the unique characteristics and operating issues associated with servicing today’s production facilities. Customer satisfaction is our paramount goal. We meet and exceed this by providing the highest quality service, coupled with continual communication to each of our customers. We work together with you to gain a thorough understanding of your specific needs. This allows us to customize a flexible program that will work best for you. PDS serves as a trusted partner and advisor for a growing list of nationwide manufacturers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We offer EU customers a comprehensive 24hr repair and emergency replacement service for many drives.
Our service area isn’t limited to the UK; we have traveled throughout Europe and the Far East, often at the request of a previously satisfied UK customer. Services from the total refurbishment of drives to custom environmental protection are available, most of which can be carried out on or off-site by teams of specially trained engineers.
