Engineering firms forge new nationwide servicing partnership
Martin Engineering and Wright Engineering build on existing alliance to create new national partnership
MARTIN Engineering, a leader in bulk material handling solutions, have announced a unique national partnership with Wright Engineering, one of the UK’s leading specialists in the design, build, and installation of complex processing plants.
Under the new arrangement, quarrying and materials processing companies across England and Wales will be able to tap into unrivalled expertise in conveyor systems, with innovative proprietary products from Martin combined with turnkey engineering solutions that Wright are renowned for delivering.
The agreement builds on the success of an existing alliance between the two Nottinghamshire firms, which has been providing materials handling solutions and servicing to East Midlands producers for the past three years.
Martin Engineering’s UK branch manager, Dave Harasym, said: ‘By extending our relationship with one of the country’s best known and highly respected engineering companies, we can expand our reach across England and Wales.
‘Together we will provide complete end-to-end solutions from design, build, and install through to maintenance, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. Wright have a team of highly skilled engineers and are one of the few firms with the scale, experience, and technical expertise to rise to any materials handing challenge.’
Wright Engineering’s national sales director, Joshua Jepson, said: ‘Our new partnership with Martin Engineering is a natural extension to our success in the East Midlands. It increases our ability to install market-leading conveyor products on the new processing plants we’re designing and building.
‘It also means better customer support for ongoing maintenance, upgrades to existing plants, and troubleshooting problems with their conveyor systems. We’re both family companies who see eye to eye when it comes to engineering excellence, innovative solutions, and doing a proper job.’
Worksop-based Wright Engineering are at the forefront of cutting-edge design, fabrication, and installation of complex engineering solutions along with providing maintenance services and aftermarket parts for the quarrying industry, as well as power, building products, recycling, ports, and construction.
Martin Engineering is a US company with its UK headquarters in Mansfield. It is one of the largest global manufacturers and suppliers of belt conveyor accessories. Focused on safety and efficiency, the company’s innovative equipment designs promote bulk material flow in heavy-duty environments, including transfer-point equipment, belt cleaners, air cannons and dust control. Martin’s products eliminate blockages and build-ups, prevent spillage, and reduce dust emissions for less downtime and a lower cost of operation.
Under the new partnership Wright Engineering will supply Martin’s trademark orange conveyor products, belt cleaners, and transfer-point solutions, alongside other conveyor components such as belts, rollers, skirting, drives, and structural framework, ultimately making conveyors run better.
Martin’s vice-president for Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and India, Robert Whetstone, said: ‘By pooling our engineering expertise and resources, both businesses can be more adaptable to the changing dynamics and demands of the industry – we can react faster, operate more efficiently, and service materials producers more comprehensively.
‘This partnership represents a very different kind of partnership model for sales, service, and engineering solutions not seen before in our industry. Based on our success in the UK we can well imagine developing similar partnership arrangements with turnkey engineering companies in other countries where Martin operate.’
