Etatron GB, the UK and Ireland branch office of Italian pump manufacturer, Etatron DS, has appointed Tomlinson Hall Ltd as UK distributor for the process industry for their range of dosing pumps.

For Tomlinson Hall, four-time winner of the BPMA (British Pump Manufacturer’s Association) UK Pump Distributor of the Year award, the range comes as a perfect compliment for the Billingham-based company’s existing portfolio of products.

Colin Simpson, Tomlinson Hall’s Business Development Director, commented, “The approach by Etatron was obviously most welcome but also very timely as we had been considering a request from a long-standing client for integrated systems that included chemical dosing pumps. The relationship was sealed during a visit to the company’s Manufacturing facility and Head Office in Rome this Summer and we are delighted to have been chosen as UK distributors to the process industry by such a world class company. The appointment is also further testament to our own commitment to providing the very best global pump products to industry.”

Renowned for their metering pumps, controllers and chemical dosing systems, Etatron had previously concentrated on the water and leisure industries in the UK where their automated chemical dosing pumps and metering systems have provided off-the-shelf and tailor-made solutions for a wide variety of organisations.

Bob Bayliss, Etatron GB Managing Director, commented, “Our business plan has always been to grow and then secure our market share within the leisure and water industries but then expand into the process industries. For this it was vital to secure the right distribution partner and we investigated several good companies before talking to Tomlinson Hall.”

“Obviously, the fact that they had not only won the BPMA award four times but been finalists on eight occasions was an important factor but the visits to Rome firstly by Colin and then Tomlinson Hall Managing Director, Tony Keville, convinced our Head Office that here was a distributor that not only knew the market but was also passionate about customer service.”

“It’s obviously early days for both companies but the initial surge in enquiries from a sector where our products are largely unknown, is hopefully indicative of great things to come.”

Tomlinson Hall is a family owned business based on Teesside specialising in the distribution of pumps, power transmission equipment and engineering supplies.
