Shared vision cements new partnership

07 September, 2020

The deal will see a significant quantity of Argo’s conditioning monitoring sensors being used in Reynolds’ The Link – a Cloud-based monitoring system. It formalises a collaboration that began last year and brings benefits for both parties.

Argo-Hytos UK general manager, Kerry Mulholland, comments: “This is an important step forward for us – providing us with a route into a market where we have traditionally had a fairly low profile and giving us a well-respected partner in terms of sensors and fluid management.

“The agreement we have signed with Reynolds will be a core element in our fiveyear plan to position ourselves as an international partner implementing innovative and individually designed system solutions in collaboration with our customers.”

Reynolds’ technical director, Wayne Hubball, adds: “Over the past six months we’ve been working closely with ArgoHytos and in that time it’s become clear that we share the same vision and goals in terms of giving customers unprecedented cleanliness monitoring capability.

“Meaningful data is the key to predicting failure in lubrication equipment. And the key to collecting this data is the experienced implementation of sensors – fitting them correctly and in the right place – something we’ve been doing for many years now. We set the highest possible standards and we expect the same from our suppliers – which is why we went to Argo-Hytos.

Argo-Hytos has an established, international network of production and distribution companies to support a wide range of customers around the world. The company has more than 70 years’ experience in fluid and motion control and filtration technology in mobile and industrial hydraulics.

Reynolds Contamination Control has been relentless in its quest to boost filtration and particle control – and overall cleanliness in fluids. Along with training and consultancy services, the company designs and builds bespoke rigs for clients – including Formula 1 racing teams – looking for the highest possible standards. As with most successful business relationships, the new agreement is built on personal mutual respect.

Passion, talent and knowledge 

“When you start working with a new customer you always get a real buzz,” explains Mulholland, “but working with Wayne and Reynolds Contamination Control has given us a level of excitement you don’t often experience in business. To partner with someone who has this level of passion, talent and knowledge – not only for his own systems but our sensors too – is something you can only admire.”

Hubball adds: “It’s rare to find someone in our industry who not only has the talent, but the dedication to their craft that Kerry has. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him - and the rest of the Argo-Hytos team – over the last few months as we integrated their full range of lubrication condition sensors into our Link Cloud-based monitoring system. Kerry’s ‘no problem’ attitude - linked with his team’s service and support – has been faultless and allowed us to integrate with their range effortlessly.
