Following a review of its business operations Tricool Engineering has separated the  sales forces for its cooling and heating divisions to provide a stronger focus in the their respective marketplaces. According to the company’s press release, Tricool is confident that the change in focus will give customers a better service and faster turnaround of supply from its 70-strong manufacturing plant in Fareham, Hampshire.

Martin Storey takes up the post of Operations Director whilst Dave Palmer has been promoted to the role of European Process Temperature Control Director. Under his guidance products have been rationalised, manufacturing streamlined to operate more responsively and the sales force will be targeting markets sector by sector. “Over the next six months Tricool will be increasing the number of its sales engineers throughout the UK and Europe. Rationalising the product ranges enables us to provide a better service that includes stocking kit across all ranges for next day delivery,” says Dave Palmer.

Plans are well underway to introduce new products, increase capacities and offer heaters up to 96kw with for electric applications and up to a megawatt using gas to take advantage of those processes that require greater capacities. All areas of the business are benefiting from the review and thanks to support from Tricool’s parent company, ICS Cool Energy, Tricool will be launching a rental service towards the end of this year. By adopting Cool Energy’s successful rental formula in the chiller market, Tricool will offer temperature control products on short or fixed terms contracts. All the contracts will be backed-up with full servicing and warranties and will offer an attractive package for customers not wanting the hassle of ownership or requiring units for short needs such as R&D.
