Distributor signings in Europe and Asia

Wilnsdorf-based Flexon is to act as Lovejoy's main distributor sales force in the German market for the company's line of couplings. Lovejoy has also signed a distribution deal for Ro-Quip Asia Pacific to cover South East Asia. Flexon's extensive product line includes, but is not limited to jaw, jaw-in-shear, curved jaw, gear, grid, disc and torsional couplings for applications ranging from power transmission to pump retrofitting in the petrochemical, pulp, paper, rubber and waste treatment industries.

Ro-Quip sales representative will service the South East Asia region, specifically Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos.

The distributor will also function as a specialised rotating equipment distributor servicing the oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical and power generation markets in South East Asia.

Current lines include electric motors, fans/blowers, fluid and turbo machinery couplings, gearboxes, lubricants and barrier fluids, packings, metallic gaskets and shaft connectors.

"Lovejoy has a long history of servicing the needs of companies around the world", says President and CEO Mike Hennessy, "exemplified in one regard by 50 continuous years having a presence at the Hannover-Messe trade show and our continued commitment to offering product lines compatible with either inch or metric calibrated operating systems.

Our partnership with Flexon in Europe and Ro-Quip in Asia Pacific will enable our worldwide customer base to fully satisfy their industrial coupling requirements".

Lovejoy formed the partnership with Flexon in light of the company's overall experience in the German power transmission industry, its centralised shipping and stocking location and competent regional staff that offers customer service and support.

The Ro-Quip partnership represents a great fit between two synergistic companies.

As the leading supplier of engineered products and services in Asia Pacific, Ro-Quip's mission and market expertise complements Lovejoy's dominance in the power transmission market.
