ABB Motor Service Partner network extends into Northern Ireland

JJ Loughran has been appointed ABB Motor Service Partner for Northern Ireland, forming part of ABB’s growing customer service network for full lifecycle support of low voltage AC motors.

Established since 1970, JJ Loughran has built a reputation as a market leader in the repair and supply of electric motors and drives throughout Ireland.  The company employs 26 people, operating from its purpose built warehouse and electric motor repair facility, in Cookstown, Co.Tyrone. Being centrally located in Northern Ireland lets the company service the electric motor needs of the quarrying, food processing, manufacturing and water utilities. With contracts including 24 hour breakdown and repair service, customers are guaranteed a minimum downtime.

 “The company’s reputation for quality and competitive pricing has been ensured by our careful selection of suppliers, and it is for this reason that ABB is a good fit for us, ensuring that the very best quality, value for money and energy efficiency is passed on to our customers,” explains  Managing Director John Loughran.

“In a climate of ever increasing energy costs, industry has become more aware of the importance of energy efficiency and with a typical fully loaded electric motor consuming the same electricity costs within the first month of operation as its purchase price, an ABB energy efficient motor can save the customer a substantial amount each year.”

As an ABB Motor Service Partner, JJ Loughran can supply motors up to 45 kW
off-the-shelf and up to 500 kW within 72 hours. The company can also dimension, specify and install the correct motor for any application, as well as provide repairs, preventive maintenance, full thermal imaging service, motor management advice and energy audits.
Steve Ruddell, General Manager for ABB Drives & Motors, UK & Ireland, comments: “This is good for our customers in Northern Ireland, for JJ Loughran and for ABB. I’ve been impressed with JJ Loughran’s high levels of customer service and I feel confident that together, we will be able to provide a vastly improved service for motor users throughout Northern Ireland.”
