AUMA Adding Value with Advice, not just Supply
Envirotec Magazine
OCTOBER 21, 2022
The desire for speed of supply in the water and power utilities sectors can often mean that actuator specifications are repeated, based on a like-for-like replacement. Likewise, many specifiers may be unaware of design advances and innovations that, if known, would influence product selection. Colin Borrows is Operations Manager at AUMA Actuators Limited.
