Outstanding performance

Thorite, a leading supplier of air compressors, air tools, pneumatic and process products has enjoyed a close relationship with IMI Precision Engineering (formerly Norgren) for more than 60 years and has more than 160 years of experience in supplying products for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO).

Thorite was presented with the Outstanding Sales Performance award for not only exceeding the target set by IMI Precision Engineering, but also achieving a stretch target, as Martin Geobey, UK sales director explains:

"We were thoroughly impressed with Thorite’s results which represented significant growth over the previous year. Through a close working relationship with the IMI Precision Engineering team, they were able to target and achieve significant market share gain, and were enthusiastic about engaging with us on several marketing campaign initiatives over the course of the year.”

Alan Donkersley, Thorite sales director, added: "Our aim has always been to build a wealth of knowledge and strong relationships with both customers and suppliers, so to be recognised by IMI Precision Engineering with this award is testament to our tried and trusted approach. We are proud to supply compressed air and fluid power products from such a renowned global manufacturer and look forward to developing our relationship in future years.”

Norgren became IMI Precision Engineering in January 2015, as part of a global IMI transition designed to align and strengthen its ability to help customers tackle the world’s most demanding engineering challenges.
