VTI and PCU combine technologies to offer turnkey
solutions to Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Tier 1 Automotive
Production Industry
Oak Ridge TN and Dayton OH,
December 16th: Vacuum Technology Incorporated (VTI) of Oak Ridge TN
and Sterling PCU, a division of Sterling Fluid Systems, a world leader
in fluid handling, have announced the formation of a strategic
alliance offering turnkey production process solutions for Air
Conditioning, Refrigeration and Automotive production and test
facilities.
The Alliance offers engineered solutions for
product filling, leak testing, gas and liquid recovery, run testing of
components or complete systems and material conveying and handling.
Each of these systems can be integrated with plant communications
systems for product and quality tracking purposes. The companies are
established leaders in their respective fields serving major heavy
duty and light vehicle manufactures as well as market segment leaders
such as Trane, Whirlpool, Goodman, General Electric, Rheem, Copeland
and Carrier.
"By aligning Sterling PCU’s breadth of application
experience with VTI’s depth of technical knowledge, the strategic
alliance offers customers a unique "one stop" value proposition while
positioning both companies as the premier solutions supplier and
service provider to these industries", said Tom Hoge, President of
PCU. "The leverage created by the alliance is already impacting
business potential for both companies, especially with customers
looking to work with knowledgeable suppliers of their entire
production process. Together, we are looking at the supply of complete
production lines alongside our individual abilities to supply discrete
charging and test systems", said George Solomon, President and Founder
of VTI.
2003 will kick off with both companies exhibiting
at the ASHRAE convention in Chicago. Joint activities are planned for
other shows throughout the year along with a series of training
courses intended to address factors critical to the production
environment. "For example, PCU and VTI can reduce the on-going cost of
testing by offering Helium or Refrigerant recovery systems in parallel
with Helium or Refrigerant leak testing systems" added Kevin Buxton,
Director of Global Business Alliances.
Whether for a new production line, an update of an
existing installation or for specific instrumentation needs, contact
VTI or PCU to discuss how we may address your requirements.
