ECOBAT Industrial – helping keep vital services on track
While the global coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown has changed the course of the nation’s collective civil liberties, it has also highlighted its reliance on the extraordinary work of both the health and welfare services and the food distribution industry.
Keeping these key services operating efficiently relies on the support and contribution of many other organisations, one of which is the industrial division of ECOBAT Battery Technologies (ECOBAT Industrial) the UK’s largest independent battery sales and service supplier.
Distributing prominent brands such as TAB, Lucas, Sonnenschein and US Battery, and chargers from SPE and Fronius across the industrial sector, the company is able to demonstrate its vital role with some amazing statistics gleaned from its last four weeks of business activity.
During this period, the ECOBAT Industrial team, on behalf of its many floor care machinery manufacturers and service provider customers, attended more than 90 sites across the UK to supply and fit new batteries, while at the same time removing the old batteries for recycling in a safe and environmentally friendly facilities.
40% of this impressive number were either NHS hospitals or related healthcare providers, while the other 60% were supermarket distribution centres, which emphasises the important support role the company plays behind the scenes not only during this time of national crisis, but on a day-by-day, year-by-year basis.
In addition to the batteries it fitted, during the same four-week snap shot, ECOBAT Industrial supplied in excess of 1,000 batteries to manufacturers and providers who fit them themselves across a host of frontline services, such as food and grocery distribution warehouses and pharmaceutical and medical distribution centres, as well as the health and welfare sectors mentioned previously.
“As we endure such unprecedented challenges in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, this is an important message for those in the materials handling and warehouse and logistics sectors, as well as the cleaning industry, who collectively are under such pressure to stock and distribute the goods that are so vital as we grapple day-to-day in the country’s present position,” explains Keith Macdonald, the company’s commercial director. “They will also be in the frontline in the future, when we go through the process of rebuilding the economy. When that time comes, we will again be at their side, providing the support these industries need as part of the essential services the nation requires to get back on its feet.”
Flexibility is at the heart of the company’s sales, support & innovation philosophy, which is why so many businesses rely on its ability to deliver multiple power storage solutions. So, in addition to the products it supplies and the wealth of knowledge and expertise the company has built up over than 60 years, ECOBAT Industrial also has a team of service engineers and a 13-branch network in locations strategically placed throughout the UK to enable it to provide a truly national service.
