PRESS RELEASE
ENGINEERED INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS Ltd. TO DISTRIBUTE OCBP's "HEG" POLLUTION CONTROL AND BIOREMEDIATION PRODUCTS
January 1999
Engineered Industrial Products, the Buckinghamshire-based supplier of high-strength epoxy resin machine support materials, has entered into a distribution agreement with Oil Cleaning Bio-Products Ltd. for the marketing of OCBP's "Heg" range of pollution control equipment which includes biodegradable absorbents, solvent substitutes, oil spill response kits, sealants and bioremediation products.
Commenting on the move, Mark Huggins, Managing Director of EIP said: "With EIP successfully completing its second year and with Chockfast sales on target, we were actively seeking additional product lines when we saw the "Heg" products demonstrated at the Maintec '98 Exhibition. We were immediately impressed by what we saw, and realised that they would complement the Chockfast range. We applied to OCBP Ltd. for a distributorship and were accepted. We have now recruited Julie Louise O'Sullivan to spearhead our marketing effort in this field. She will be targetting a number of sectors, including transport and automotive, oil, chemicals, precision engineering, general manufacturing, plant maintenance and facilities management".
Asked about EIP's new role, Richard Genochio, Managing Director of Oil Cleaning Bio-Products Ltd., said: "We were delighted by EIP's decision to join us in the marketing of the "Heg" products. The scope for them is immense, since they have applications in all industrial sectors. More and more companies - and above all their larger customers - are insisting upon the use of "greener" products and processes. The "Heg" products make a major contribution to improved health and safety at work and reduced environmental impacts, and we are sure that EIP will have a big part to play in helping companies solve the long-standing and common problems of oil pollution."
NOTES FOR EDITORS
- Engineered Industrial Products Ltd. was established in March 1997 by Mark Huggins and Adrian Johnstone. EIP supplies and installs high strength epoxy resin machinery support materials. Known as the Chockfast System, these materials reduce vibration and eliminate steel shims and packing. The materials are totally resistant to water, oil and many chemicals. They maintain machinery alignment to a very high degree of accuracy and substantially reduce down-time due to equipment failure or alignment errors.
