The passing of an era….or is it?

As most of our regular contacts and customers will know, Brian Billings, the Sales Director for CHK for more years than he would care to admit (and possibly remember!) has now officially retired and we would like to wish Brian all the best for the future, particularly as he has not vanished completely but instead has set up his own sales consultancy business and will continue to work with us in developing new accounts.

CHK invests in efficiency

We have recently introduced a new quoting package allowing us to better serve our customers requests and expectations in response time to enquiries. Introduction and testing has been positive and this is in the process of being rolled out with our estimators now completing their training and the system becoming live.

A further step to improving turn-around times is the introduction of our new ERP system which has been fully integrated with our new quoting package, enabling the speedy conversion of quotes into production parts without the need for duplication of work.

We look forward to maintaining and enhancing our service to customers.

Case Study – MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC

Mitsubishi Air Source Heating unit - turnkey fabrication by CHK plc

Mitsubishi Air Source Heating unit Turnkey fabrication by CHK plc

CHK PLC were approached by Mitsubishi Electric to work with them to supply complete turnkey product for their new range of commercial Air Source heating systems.

Overview
Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new modular range of commercial heating products that will help the majority of buildings achieve renewable energy targets with more ease,  reliability and flexibility than any other alternative renewable technology including  biomass boilers.

The heating-only range uses advanced heat pumps to provide radiant heating, warm air, sanitary hot water, or a combination of all three. In addition to helping new buildings achieve planning permission, the range can be retro-fitted to existing buildings, and will work independently or alongside other heating systems.

Background
This was a brand new product range for Mitsubishi Electric, designed and developed in house in the UK, Mitsubishi Electric were looking for a strategic partner who would work with them during the initial development period through to volume manufacturing.

Objective
To develop a working prototype unit for field testing and then to migrate from this to a production ready turnkey product that would be supplied fully finished, pressure tested and crated in order for units to be next opened on site ready for installation.

Our approach
CHK’s engineering department worked closely with Mitsubishi Electric engineers to develop a cost effective modular assembly that pulls together fabrications, electronic components and specialist pipework  allowing multiple units to be coupled together on site in order to match customers heating requirements.

Benefits
CHK PLC have become a “One stop shop” for Mitsubishi Electric, eliminating unnecessary handling time with our capability of laser cutting, CNC bending, Robotic Welding, CNC Machining, powder coating, Assembly and pressure testing operations all being carried out in-house at CHK PLC.
