The strategic alliance will see Staffordshire-based Silentbloc UK and Reich Dive Systems UK Ltd (a subsidiary of German-based Reich-Kupplungen) work together to share engineering expertise in the development of a new coupling and vibration control solution, which is being manufactured primarily for the power generation market.
The partnership will help the two companies, which provide engineered solutions to a range of markets, to develop a complete coupling and vibration engineered kit solution.
By working together to design and manufacture the complete engineered kit solution, the businesses can pass on improved system performance, and a reduced lifecycle cost to customers.
David Proud, general manager of Reich Drive Systems UK, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with a company that already has a detailed understanding of our markets.”
Craig Harris, managing director of Silentbloc, added: “Reich-Kupplungen already has an excellent reputation in the power generation market and is widely recognised as being the most technically-proficient business in its field. This, together with Silentbloc’s innovative engineering expertise, will enable us to deliver a comprehensive solution based upon world leading technologies.”
