ERIKS & Festo celebrate partnership 25th Anniversary

20 March, 2024

Andy Parker-Bates, Relationship Development Manager added: “In pneumatics our future direction is more around intelligence, capability and the monitoring and control of compressed air. To be able to benefit from that end users need to be able to work with partners that have got those skills. Last year we had an ‘automation day’ which ERIKS attended, and this enabled them to assist customers in those areas. It’s an area we are developing together.”

There are innumerable ideas as to how the relationship can progress with business not only taking place between the two in the UK and Ireland but also across Europe. ERIKS has just added a further £35,000 of Festo stock at their FCE and now holds all the commonly required parts for next day delivery. The partners are also exploring sharing industry specific learnings, the sharing of best practice across companies and sectors to help create better solutions faster. ERIKS are also further improving the product knowledge of its front-line teams around the country so that customers get the best advice on both specifying the right product and stock availability. In addition, they are exploring how to speed up the development of engineered solutions through the partnership.

Paul Lynch concluded: “After 25 years, some start to take partners for granted, ERIKS and Festo are very much renewing our vows and setting off on a series of exciting adventures together."
