ERIKS UK will operate a twin business model, based on that of its parent organisation. As well as its traditional strength in the MRO sector the company will also be able to attract OEM business because of its R&D and manufacturing capability.  In the sealing sector for example ERIKS UK is able to work on specific solutions for customers within its own laboratory and manufacture bespoke products. Alongside the ability to deliver customised solutions the company also possesses expertise and experience in areas such as vendor managed inventory, line side supply and the supply of kitted assemblies. Such expertise is available both in the UK and at other facilities across Europe.

ERIKS UK is also looking at making strategic acquisitions, indeed this has already been demonstrated with the purchase of FHS – Flexible Hose Solutions and Forco Electrical Services in 2007.

Commenting on becoming ERIKS UK, Mark Dixon, CEO said, “We have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, finally to move forward as ERIKS UK. The combination of our in-depth technical knowledge and our ever-increasing product range makes ERIKS UK an incredibly strong partner for all organisations looking to enhance their productivity and operate more efficiently.”
