30th Anniversary celebrations for GreCon Limited
GreCon Limited is celebrating a significant milestone, with 30 years of business and commitment to the UK & Ireland market.
Established in April 1992, GreCon Limited is located just outside of Newcastle upon Tyne and is a member of the Fagus-GreCon Group. With a wealth of experience as a global market leader, GreCon demonstrates a strong understanding of customer needs and provides turnkey solutions for multiple industries, including the wood-based panel industry, manufacturing, recycling, biomass, pharmaceutical, food, hygiene and more.
GreCon’s fire prevention technology protects industrial premises, processes and people, detecting and extinguishing ignition sources, making workplaces safer and enabling uninterrupted production. In addition, GreCon’s measuring technology solutions help customers improve product quality in their production processes, using proven German engineering to reduce material and energy costs, ultimately maximising operational efficiency.
During these 30 years, the company has focused on developing sustainable relationships with its customers and adopting the role of a strategic partner. Founding GreCon Limited in 1992 enabled a more local connection and enhanced response times. As a result, customers across the UK & Ireland depend on GreCon for consultative and problem-solving sales engagement and first-class customer service. In addition, fast deliveries of parts and systems are possible due to comprehensive local stock-holding and local manufacturing of Water Pressurisation Systems, which provide a dedicated water supply for our fire prevention systems.
Due to a solid track record of performance and growth, it has been possible for GreCon Limited to include customer requirements in the technology roadmap and contribute to developing innovative new products. A recent example of this development is the launch of the GreCon IEM, the Intelligent Extinguishing Module.
The GreCon IEM launched this month as a fit for the future addition to the intelligent fire prevention solutions portfolio. The GreCon team is keen to discuss this newest product’s features and benefits, how it can form part of a compelling fire prevention solution, and how it can take the intelligence and reliability of existing spark extinguishing systems to the next level. Critical benefits include more rapid extinguishing of sparks and harmful ignition sources. In addition, integrated intelligent extinguishing technology (IET®) enables highly precise extinguishing process monitoring and predictive maintenance control.
The company is also undertaking recruitment for roles in a new Service & Operations department, streamlining the former structure. A Head of Service & Operations and Service Coordinator are amongst the roles sought. This recruitment will ensure additional skills and expertise address current and future needs and ensure customer expectations remain in focus.
Jonathan Hamill, Managing Director of GreCon Limited, said,
"We have a solid track record of providing a first-class service to our customers, who rely on GreCon to add vital protection and to help them optimise their manufacturing process. Today we celebrate our 30th Birthday and pause to celebrate the contribution of the whole team and the loyalty of our customers. We also reflect on our business success and our tremendous opportunity to make people and places safer and factories smarter."
Uwe Kahmann, joint Group Managing Director, commented,
"This significant business milestone and 30th anniversary reaffirms our commitment to the UK & Ireland market. We fully support GreCon Limited and are committed to our role as a strategic partner to our customers. We thank the team for delivering a vital contribution in looking after our customers even during difficult times such as the current pandemic. We will continue to invest in innovative products and equip our organisation to continue delivering the best in class customer service our customers expect."
