24/10/07 Certex gets Platinum Status with Gunnebo Lifting

Certex UK – one of the nation’s leading suppliers of lifting gear and services – has become one of the main UK distributors for Gunnebo Industries.

As part of the arrangement, Certex has been given Gunnebo Lifting’s top distributor status of Platinum for their market-leading chain systems, which include the recently launched ‘Flexi-leg’ system.

Platinum status means that Certex will have full access to all Gunnebo Lifting products – some lines of which are reserved exclusively for Platinum distributors – and will also be able to pass on to its customers any special features or offers that are again only available to Platinum dealers.

Charles Gillespie, Certex’s Sales and Marketing Director, said: “We are delighted to have formed this partnership with Gunnebo Industries. They are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of lifting equipment and are well known within the industry for quality and safety.

“Gunnebo Lifting is the UK’s leading brand for chain systems and we expect these products to be particularly popular with our customers, especially the Classic (grade 8) and GrabiQ (grade 10) series,” he added.

As with the majority of Certex’s product lines, Gunnebo Lifting offers an excellent service package, which will further enhance Certex’s reputation in this field. The two companies will also work together to arrange customer visits to the Gunnebo Lifting factories, and to provide free customer training and product demonstrations.

Michael Gough, Managing Director of Gunnebo Industries UK, said: “Certex has an unrivalled reputation within the UK lifting industry as a key supplier of quality products and services, and we are delighted to be able to add them to our select list of top ranking Platinum distributors.

We will work together to ensure the best support possible on all our products, and with Certex we also know that customers will benefit from the company’s comprehensive back-up services, including installation, product testing, repair and maintenance, and training services.”

Certex – which operates mainly in the manufacturing, steel, construction, offshore, oil, gas and shipping industries – provides a national service to local customers with local needs. It does this through a network of 15 regional distribution centres.
