Edmonds Industrial Coatings and Atlas Copco New Zealand - a 30 Year Partnership!

25 years ago Atlas Copco released the game changing Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Compressor – a concept completely ahead of it’s time and turned the compressor industry on its head internationally.

Fast forward to present day and we have the evolutionary VSD+ which can reduce energy consumption by 50% on average; even in the harshest operational conditions. The VSD+ is the air compressor of the future and will position Atlas Copco as an international leader in the compressed air industry. When the GAVSD range was released into New Zealand, the first compressor was purchased by Edmonds Industrial Coating Ltd in Whanganui. EIL are New Zealand leaders in abrasive blasting & heavy-duty coatings and have been a loyal Atlas Copco customer for over 30 years! Edmonds Industrial Coatings Ltd specialise in:Grit Blasting/Garnet Blasting/Sand Blasting, Industrial Painting/Corrosion Resistant Coatings, Heavy Duty Coatings, Arc Spray Galvanising, Fire Proof Coatings, Waterblasting In 2014 EIL was purchased by Janine McNaught and Brett Gulliver, who immediately and set about streamlining the company to embrace the new millennium. This year EIL purchased a fixed speed GA55FF 55KW compressor with related filtration and condensate treatment to run the blasting arm of their facility whilst the VSD compressor will take care of the rest of their operation, providing them with maximum energy efficiency (which translates into many thousands of real $$ savings every year) and 200% redundancy for peace of mind. By combining the VSD and Fixed Speed technologies Edmonds Industrial Coatings have essentially ‘Future Proofed’ their compressed air requirements for another 20 years!

Janine -

"I didn’t know anything about compressors, just that they made air! But right through from when the Service Technician first came in to assess the damaged machine to us buying a new compressor, and an Atlas Copco employee was always available to provide guidance and advice. However, to keep them honest we got quotes from 2 other compressor companies, and without hesitation Mukesh said that he would provide the most cost efficient solution for EIL, because Atlas Copco had the most advanced equipment in the world. (He also unashamedly told us that his equipment would probably be the most expensive!) But by using his laptop, he ran us through many simulations which demonstrated that despite the fact that the GA55+FF was nearly $ 8,500.00 more expensive than the competitor's equipment, the additional capital costs would be recouped in energy savings was less than 3 years, after which we will literally be making money! I was really impressed with the presentation; it was slick and professional but also tailored in a style that I could understand. In the end it was a no-brainer – we bought an Atlas Copco compressor!"

"When the old compressor failed, we were not sure which direction to go in – do we repair it, then overhaul it, or scrap it and buy a new one? Mukesh Parsotam (New Equipment) and Cass Stehouwer (Aftermarket Sales) took the time to guide us through the process and let us know the pro’s and con’s at every turn, without being too pushy. Cass tailored a complete Preventative Maintenance Program for all of our equipment which was cost effective, provided piece of mind because they are available 24/7 meant we don’t need to worry about looking after our compressed air equipment. Atlas Copco are not just a compressor sales and service company, they are our business partners!"
