Brilliant service from start to finish. From supplying parts to providing technical support and follow ups It’s 10 out of 10. I can’t fault there service at all.

Have been using APDS now for many years and always had a positive experience, whether it be training, the supply of parts (quite often able to collect same day) all the way up to to a full drive install. Recently needed urgent assistance at one of our main pumping stations (where we needed to hire a 500Kw VSD) and thanks to their quick response, assistance and expert guidance we were back up and running the same day reducing our environmental impact to zero. Will definitely continue to use ADPS in the future.

APDS UK were called upon at very short notice over the Christmas period when we were having problems with our production process. With their help and expert advice, by the time the New Year started, we were back up and running as smoothly as usual.

APDS provide a very efficient, reliable service and support.
Engineering Manager Rockwool
First Class Service from the moment I contacted APDS, I received a call the same day and was offered advice over the phone, they then rerouted an Engineer in my area to see the issue first hand. This was swiftly followed up and an Engineer dispatched 2 days later to rectify the fault.
Allen C
Absolutely amazing customer service and technical advice. They really got me out of a headache. I would like to thank Alan / Mariusz and Douglas for their outstanding help and humour. They were actually really interested and funny. They know their stuff ……. highly recommend!
Luke C
We got good support from both ABB and APDS right from the beginning. The site demonstration proved that we could seethe energy savings and could satisfy ourselves that the reduced speed would not lead to degradation in air quality.
