As the UK’s leading industrial distributor and service provider, ERIKS finds an average of £2million of savings for customers every month. Now, with the redevelopment of the ERIKS Service Centre on our doorstep in Aberdeen, a fair proportion of those savings could be available to local businesses, but ERIKS needs to add to the team to deliver these savings.
If you’re running almost any kind of industrial operation, searching for cost savings goes with the territory. That’s why the ERIKS Service Centre on the East Tullos Trading Estate combines a same-day parts-supply service, together with expert technical support provided by experienced technicians to help customers to realise ongoing savings.
Same-day stock
One obvious way to make cost-savings is to avoid excessive downtime of equipment. So to help businesses, ERIKS keeps a huge £750,000 stock in Aberdeen, ready for same-day dispatch, 24/7 – including several names which are exclusive to ERIKS.
For example, the site stocks every single size of Fenner belt, pulley and taper lock and is the only source for Fenner in the area. Similarly, Econ valves and Revolvo Split Roller Bearings are exclusive ranges.
Saving £1,000 a call
ERIKS believes – and has proved – that focusing on total cost of ownership delivers more over the long term than focusing on purchase price. With 625 technical staff available nationwide, ERIKS makes around 1,800 visits to customers every month, which works out to an average of £1,000 savings per visit.
These savings arise first from the sheer technical expertise of ERIKS engineers undertaking problem solving for customers and, second, ERIKS teams help customers to make operational savings through a reassessment of their logistics and procurement operations.
The proof lies in the signed-off cost savings from existing ERIKS customers, which contribute to that staggering £2million-a-month figure.
Building the team in Aberdeen
The redevelopment of ERIKS’ Aberdeen Service Centre means that the company is looking for more like-minded people to join its team. It is looking for a strong engineering background with experience in MRO supply and the ability to work with customers to convert this knowhow into cost savings. For an employee, ERIKS offers structured training and career development along with an appropriate rewards package.
ERIKS wants to grow in Aberdeen, so is keen to find energetic and positive people who want to help shape the business for the future and work for a Top Employer 2013, as awarded by the CRF Institute, something of which they are very proud.
Big in Aberdeen
On the same East Tullos Trading Estate as the service centre, you will also find an ERIKS Electro-Mechanical Service Centre, with a fully equipped workshop offering maintenance and repair services to help keep key assets at their peak of operational performance.
In addition, Aberdeen is the location for a specialist centre for Econosto valves and gaskets, offering new parts supply and expert repair. So with three locations in the city and a growing team, ERIKS in Aberdeen is hard to miss, and cost savings for customers are easier than ever to find.
