We have a strong sense of local community and prioritise a local supply chain. This focus in seeking parts from within the UK allows us to proudly define our load banks as being Made in Britain.
From 1st January 2021 we will continue to manufacture our equipment with CE marking and will embrace both UK and EU standards to ensure full compliance of standards used in international markets.
