NLB opens branch in United Kingdom
NLB opened a dedicated branch facility in the United Kingdom on Dec. 1. The company’s new Darlington, England-based facility, and its abundance of available transport links, is well-located to serve NLB customers throughout the U.K. With close to 25,000 square feet of workshop, office, and yard space, the branch will house a range of NLB pump units for quick sale or rental, an increased inventory of accessories, and spare parts with room to conduct water jet demonstrations and customer training sessions. Large roll-up garage doors will make it easy for customers to bring units in for service support. The move from a shared location to a dedicated facility, with more space and increased staffing, will help NLB respond even more quickly to European demand, and reduce service times and give customers’ personnel access to U.K.-based training.
