Following significant expansion in the UK, Radwell International is now one of Europe’s biggest providers of new and used surplus, industrial electrical and electronic control equipment. With over 2,000 employees across 80 sites worldwide, Radwell International is an authorised distributor for over 350 manufacturers and specialises in hard-to-source parts. Its comprehensive database of over 35 million spare parts and technology-enabled distribution model makes the company a leading global provider of maintenance, repair and operations products, focused on the repair solutions aftermarket for critical components. With significant operations in the UK, Germany, Poland, Belgium and Czech Republic, the USheadquartered company, established since 1979, now has over 250,000 new and obsolete spare parts in stock across 9.5 km2 of storage over its seven sites in Europe, meaning swifter breakdown solutions than ever before for customers across the continent. With warranties and extended warranty options on all products, shipped door-to-door 24/7, its unrivalled product inventory is backedup by its multi-national team of over 50 European-based engineers, speaking a total of 25 languages. The company also recently announced the launch of a field buying division in the UK, dedicated to sourcing the most hard-to-find parts for refurbishment and reselling worldwide. Taking away the headache and expense that would normally come with responsibly disposing of old used automation equipment and components, the division’s specialist team conducts outbound site visits to assess the value of kit marked for disposal, providing purchase and removal offers for end-of-life or end-ofuse parts that would otherwise be seen as waste. As well as turning potential costs into financial returns, selling to Radwell can help companies meet their commitment to sustainability, maximising the lifecycle of industrial equipment in use across the global economy. Radwell’s General Manager of Europe, David Lenehan, said: “Radwell International sells and repairs industrial electrical and electronic control devices. We sell and repair timers, counters, photoelectric sensors, circuit breakers, pushbuttons, PLC’s, motors, speed control and any other devices used to make machinery run. “Sectors we work in include vehicle manufacturers, chemical plants, food processing facilities, local authorities, government agencies, bakeries, power plants, amusement parks, exporters, plastic moulding and extruders, steel plants and a long list of other business sectors. “The size and scale of our inventory now puts us in an unrivalled position for the provision of spare parts and repairs solutions in stressful breakdown situations. “Dedicated to continuous improvement, Radwell’s operations team analyses all internal processes and implements changes, both automated and manual, to provide the very best service level possible for our customers. “Changes are identified and entered into a formal change management system. They are then evaluated, prioritised, implemented, measured and then improved again. “Measuring performance of all internal processes is the key factor in our continuous improvement, with measurement tools in place to ensure data is continually monitored. This data is then analysed and used to implement further improvements. “The end goal is that Radwell International is a one-stop-shop for industrial automation, MRO and service for organisations big and small. Our vast repair services range from HMI’s, PLC’s, AC/DC Drives, field service, CNC, system integration, servo motors, panel building, programming, calibration, and emergency repair. “Providing free repair pick up, where available, our goal is to supply parts, products, and services to keep you up and running. When a machine goes down, we are there with a multitude of services to help your plant floor get back on schedule. “Whatever industry you are in, Radwell is your partner to keep you up and running.” RADWELL EXPANDS IN EUROPE CORPORATE PROFILE uksales@radwell.co.uk tel: 01782 576 800 www.radwell.co.uk
