STRONG GROWTH FOR MOTOR CONTROL EXPERT

Building on 25 years of success in the challenging control gear market, Blackburn-based motor control expert Ralspeed has reported a remarkable 20% year-on-year sales growth over a ten-year period. In addition, the company's strong order book and the sustained high level of enquiries it is receiving indicate that its exceptional rate of growth is set to continue.

As a result of the expansion in demand for its products and services, Ralspeed is increasing its workforce, adding one new specialist to its control panel building team and also recruiting an apprentice who will have an outstanding opportunity to learn panel building skills that are currently much in demand.

"The key to our on-going success is simple," said Peter Schaffel, Managing Director of Ralspeed. "We listen to our customers, and we give them what they want. Of course, almost every company claims to do that, but Ralspeed is a relatively small operation with a high level of in-house expertise and its own manufacturing capabilities. This means we can be much more flexible than most other suppliers in the sector."

"As a result, we can not only satisfy our customers requirements accurately and cost-effectively," he continued, "we can also offer very fast turnaround even on equipment that's custom designed and built. And our excellent growth performance over the last ten years amply confirms that we're getting it right."

Ralspeed designs and manufactures an extensive range of motor starting equipment, including its own exclusive Torq-Master range of high-performance soft start units. The company offers motor starting equipment for outright purchase and also for hire, which is an inexpensive and effective way of meeting short-term requirements.

In addition to its standard products, Ralspeed also develops, manufactures and supplies fully customised equipment to meet specific user requirements and is always pleased to offer expert advice relating to motor starting applications of all kinds. Ralspeed is an accredited partner for Vacon ac variable speed drives and for Peter Electronic dc injection brakes.
