ACORN becomes authorised Simalube supply partner as UK industry looks to automate routine maintenance

Acorn Industrial Services has been announced as a UK supply partner for Simatec’s Automatic Lubricators

SIMATEC HAS named Acorn Industrial Services as a UK supply partner for its Automatic Lubricators.

Following ACORN’s appointment as a Simatec maintenance tool distributor in March this year, Simatec has now gone further by announcing it is extending its partnership with ACORN to include its popular Simalube automatic lubricator range.

The move has seen a large stock investment of the Simalube products by ACORN to hold in its network of regional distribution centres across the UK. This will improve availability of the product for industry and provides an excellent opportunity for businesses to take their first small steps into automated lubrication and to reduce costly manual routine maintenance.

“Being a full-range supply partner for Simatec, is a significant step forward for us. We can now offer the complete package of maintenance products.” He continued “Just as importantly, we can utilise our extensive knowledge and experience to help customers get started with automated maintenance,” said Jay Goodgame, ACORN’s lubrication and adhesives product manager.

To celebrate the new appointment, ACORN is offering a free online consultation with a product expert to companies who are interested in learning more about implementing automated maintenance.
