EDC is the premier supplier of ABB variable speed drives & motors in Scotland, and was also recently awarded the territory in the North East of England. As an ABB Authorised Value Provider, we repair, service, install, commission and sell inverters, motors and also ABB control gear. We have a wealth of experience in panel building and project managing, and as such we are able to take projects from inception to completion. Located in Erskine for over 10 years, we are well-placed to serve the needs of our clients in Scotland, undertaking both energy surveys and training throughout the country.
With our new branch of the company, EDC Air Compressors, EDC now includes the supply and servicing of air compressors (both oil injected and oil free) as part of our product portfolio - offering the same level of service and engineering experience in this field as we do with our ABB trained VSD field service engineers. Working with a number of blue chip companies in the distilling, manufacturing, chemical and food & drink industries, EDC has a solid reputation for assisting customers not only with keeping their plant operational, but also with advising them on energy savings which can be made throughout their operation. As such, we see ourselves as a partner to our clients, offering advice as well as practical solutions to their everyday engineering needs.
With offices in the Glasgow and Newcastle areas, we are a company on an upward trajectory, and are looking for the best talent to join us on our journey of continued growth.
