Remanufacturing centre offers improved service

Published: 18-Nov-2004


Leading vacuum equipment manufacturer BOC Edwards has opened a £1.2m European pump remanufacturing facility at Crawley, West Sussex. The new centre offers decontamination facilities, two flow-lines, a cleanroom and a wastewater recycling plant.

Remanufacturing involves decontamination, dismantling, cleaning, checking, replacing worn parts, reassembling and testing before the pump is returned to the customer or held in stock as a service replacement. The company has other remanufacturing facilities in the US, Asian and Japan, and the Crawley site becomes the European centre of excellence for all semiconductor and scientific pumps. Industrial vacuum pumps are remanufactured at its Bolton, Lancashire, facility. Andy Peake, European remanufacturing manager, said: 'The new facility at Crawley employs 120 people and operates seven days a week, enabling us to provide our customers with a better service and add value to the business.'
