Universal Balancing strengthened its presence in North America with the establishment of Reco-Unibal, a joint venture sales and service operation in Michigan.
This joint venture combines the strength of Universal Balancing’s advanced component balancing technology with the extensive industry sector experience of the Reco Unibal team.
Through the collaboration, Reco-Unibal will be responsible for sales and service support across USA and Canada for the complete range of Unibal component balancing systems.
“That includes everything from simple vertical axis machines, through hard and soft bearing horizontal axis equipment, to sophisticated special-purpose units, complete with automatic work handling and balance correction modules for integration into high volume production facilities”, says Bob Edwards.
“This vast range of equipment – along with associated software and controls technology – were the reasons we were so keen to collaborate with Universal Balancing.
“Reco-Unibal enables us to harness the potential of the North American market by offering a combination of top quality balancing equipment, backed by the highest levels of after-sales service and support”.
Universal Balancing’s Managing Director, Steve Fowler is equally optimistic about the launch of the new company. “We have a definite technology advantage in several key areas. In particular, the accuracy, cost and time cycle savings offered by our new prop-shaft balancing systems make them particularly attractive to automotive industry OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
Location of our new US operations in Michigan puts it in exactly the right place to capitalize on the requirements of this important market sector”.
