Keeping car parts manufacturer on the road

An on-going relationship and a reputation for supplying quality equipment have secured Borri another order from ZF Lemforder UK, a worldwide manufacturer of driveline and chassis technology.

ZF Lemforder first turned to Borri, a supplier of high-efficiency uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, when it initially purchased an industrial 300kVA UPS unit, with a transformer, in 2005.

More recently ZF Lemforder has been looking at additional ways to save energy and has subsequently upgraded its UPS system with a more efficient Borri B9000, which came with a three year warranty and maintenance package.

The new UPS unit, installed at the ZF Lemforder manufacturing plant in Birmingham, is being used to provide crucial power supply back-up for a sequence supply production line, which assembles suspension corner module components for the Land Rover Discovery and T5 Sport range.

Borri's team of specialist engineers provided a full turnkey installation service, which included the reconfiguration of existing batteries, the disposal of the old unit and the complete installation and commissioning of the new UPS system.

Commenting on the installation, ZF Lemforder's technical services manager, Glenn Sheppard, said: "Throughout our six year relationship, Borri has provided us with invaluable service and maintenance.

"When our old unit required some repairs and replacement parts, Borri advised us that it would be more cost efficient to upgrade to the B9000, as this new unit would provide a greater return on investment in terms of energy savings."

"ZF Lemforder is always looking to improve its environmental credentials so it made sense to take Borri's advice and have a B9000 installed.

"We have been really impressed with the new UPS, which has, as Borri predicted, provided us with the substantial savings on running costs that we hoped to achieve. The three year warranty and maintenance package has also given us added peace of mind. The quality of service and speed of response is outstanding. We would be more than happy to recommend Borri to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, comprehensive supplier of UPS systems."

Built in Italy to the most exacting standards by renowned manufacturer Borri S.p.A, the B9000 UPS range is manufactured to the highest technical standards, and offers superior quality of isolation, filtering and protection, whilst delivering outstanding efficiency of over 95 percent at full load.

The Borri B9000 transformer-based UPS incorporates high energy absorbing filters, ensuring clean and regulated electricity, and is up to 15 percent more efficient than conventional six or 12 pulse UPS units, providing massive efficiency savings for end users.

Like many companies, ZF Lemforder was seeking a cost-effective, resilient, transformer based UPS that could also save energy and Borri was able to deliver a system to meet all these requirements and more.

As Borri is the sole UK distributor for all Borri S.p.A's UPS systems it has an unparalleled range of products and services including UPS maintenance, installation and hire, battery replacement and disposal, generator specification, load bank testing and electrical surveys.
