Baldor UK has appointed Union Supplies (Aberdeen) Ltd as sole UK distributor for its range of explosion-proof motors.

The appointment is a direct result of Union Supplies’ significant sales expansion in recent years — it has grown to become the leading supplier of electric motors and associated equipment for the local oil and gas industries.
As a result of this distribution agreement, Union Supplies is now the largest stockist of Baldor explosion-proof motors in Europe.
According to Lee Williamson, managing director of Union Supplies, “Baldor manufactures about 350 different types of explosion-proof AC and DC electric motors.
“We will be expanding our existing product portfolio to include a wide variety of these models in 2, 4 and 6 pole configurations, with power ratings up to 150HP. These will all be held in our Aberdeen warehouse facility and available for same or next day delivery,” Williamson said.
Andrew Stephenson, Baldor UK sales manager, said, Union Supplies is well positioned to handle the fast service requirements of its key customers.
“Union Supplies is ideally located at the centre of its core business activities. Aberdeen is the largest oil-related city in Europe, and is served by a first rate international airport, with two terminals dedicated to North Sea helicopter operations,” he said.
