Drives supplies portfolio supported by partner companies

Both companies are long standing members of the Danfoss UK wide service partner network and will complement Danfoss in the delivery of the nine services that currently make up the DrivePro portfolio: Start Up, Preventive Maintenance, Extended Warranty, Remote Monitoring, Remote Expert Support, Spare Parts, Exchange, Upgrade and Retrofit. These underpin all service and support for the Danfoss and Vacon branded drive products.

Tony Allen, National Distribution Manager at Danfoss Drives, said: “Having developed the DrivePro family of services to provide our customers with a single, highly professional support portfolio for our drives, we have now set about selecting the best and most dedicated of our business partners to help us implement this important program. 

“And we are very pleased to announce that PnP and Varicon are the first companies in the UK to reach the very high standards required to become approved DrivePro partners. These appointments are an important step towards achieving our goal of ensuring that DrivePro is simply the world’s best drive support program.”

Varicon offers power electronics maintenance and support for a wide range of major organisations in the UK, including many of the largest water utilities. It is an independent company with a wealth of drive-related experience gained from working with its extensive and discerning customer base.

Dave Guest, Managing Director at Varicon, added: “We see achieving DrivePro partner status as a great opportunity for us and a big benefit for our customers. We have been working closely with Danfoss for many years and we now look forward to being able to further enhance the already excellent after-sales support and service we provide for our customers. This is truly a momentous occasion and we are extremely excited about the future!”

PnP Motion Controls’ mission is to be the most loyal, committed and proactive Drives Supplier in the North of England and Wales. The company aims to provide unsurpassed levels of product availability, technical support and after sales service to all of its customers.

Neil Hickling, a director of PnP, said: “We are delighted that our passion, dedication and commitment have been recognised by our appointment as a DrivePro partner. We have a team of engineers offering 24/7 technical support and sales teams with in-depth expert knowledge. We will now be working even more closely with Danfoss, allowing us to support our customers around the clock to ensure that they get the very best from their drives investment.”
