Champion has extended its technical sales and support team in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region to make it simpler and easier to purchase from its Champion compressors range, built to deliver value.
Headed up by Commercial Director, Mariagrazia Panaccio and supported by James Searle as Business Development Manager, the team now includes dedicated regional sales and business development managers.
Ben Ryan is UK and Nordics Business Development Manager alongside Steve Makinson, Regional Sales Manager for the UK and Nordics. Vladimir Trikic is responsible for sales in Central and Eastern Europe, and Fabio Lumino is Regional Sales Manager for the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East.
The Champion range also includes the established and proven Hydrovane portfolio, which is managed by Stephen Downes, Hydrovane Sales Manager.
Mariagrazia said: “Champion compressors are ideal for the needs of customers in small and medium-sized businesses, where reliability is critical but value for money is also essential. The range includes rotary screw, rotary vane, and portable compressors, plus a complete air treatment range. End-users need their compressed air to be reliable and available on demand, so it is important that we make it as easy as possible to be able to source machines locally.
“Sold through distributor partners, we have made it easier for our agents and customers to purchase the compressors they need through a single source. We have plans to expand our distribution network in the UK, so would also encourage other compressor distributors to get in touch to discuss opportunities.”
A stock of both compressors and service kits are held at the company’s Manchester, UK warehouse, which are readily available for next day delivery to customers across the region.
About Champion compressor technology
Available in both fixed and variable speeds, Champion’s oil-lubricated, single stage rotary screw compressors provide pressure ranges from 5 to 13 bar, in models ranging from 2.2 kW to 132 kW.
Champion’s Hydrovane-branded compact rotary vane compressors provide high-quality, clean compressed air. Rotary vane technology does not require gears or a belt, resulting in a quiet air solution that can be used by operators at the point of use. Each rotary vane unit provides upwards of 100,000 operating hours, due to a simple, low-speed direct drive design.
Weighing only 165 kg, the CMP series of portable screw compressors are easy to operate and energy efficient, for even the most demanding industrial environments. Ideally suited for a wide range of repair and installation applications where a larger compressed air unit is simply not an option, Champion’s small and lightweight portable compressor range offers a powerful alternative to electrical tools.
