Reliable flow control partner for OEMs

OEM equipment often operates in harsh and demanding environments with challenging process conditions. Therefore, components must be carefully selected to ensure safe and reliable equipment operation, maximizing uptime. Maintenance should also be carried out as quickly as possible, with minimized spare part costs.

Another important aspect for OEMs is maintaining high efficiency while keeping their own inventory minimal, relying on a demand-driven supply chain. This supply chain is often complex and outsourced further down the line. Meeting these requirements is challenging, and only successful cooperation between business operations leads to satisfied end customers.

Main OEM challenges include:

• Limited in-house resources for flow control solution selection and optimization. Valves or pumps are critical components for process performance and operational reliability.

• Tight project delivery schedules. The flow control partner must meet demanding OEM and end-user requirements on time.

• Spare parts availability and total cost of ownership (TCO). OEMs benefit from partnering with a reliable provider capable of complete project deliveries, not just individual equipment. Ideally, the partner manages the entire lifecycle of the equipment and its components.

• Brand compliance. All supplied original equipment must follow the OEM's brand guidelines, including colours and markings.

• Quality assurance. Components must add value to the proprietary equipment and meet the same high quality standards.
