ABB appoints HAYLEY DEXIS as its first UK national distributor for LV motors

ABB has appointed HAYLEY DEXIS, which has its headquarters in Halesowen, West Midlands, as the first UK national distributor for its portfolio of high-efficiency low voltage (LV) electric motors. HAYLEY DEXIS is one of the UK’s foremost value-added providers of leading-brand engineering components, consumables, and related after-sales and technical support services. This landmark agreement expands its electric powertrain services by adding ABB’s world-class motors to its drives offering.

To support the new partnership, HAYLEY DEXIS | Drives has established a substantial strategic stock holding of ABB’s IE3 Premium Efficiency motors at its specialist facility in Dudley, West Midlands. This inventory is tailored to meet immediate industrial demands for energy efficient LV motors . It enables HAYLEY DEXIS to ensure rapid availability for UK customers, backed by a robust logistics agreement that guarantees replacement stock within just 5-7 working days, ensuring supply chain continuity.

In the longer term, the agreement will provide access to a wide portfolio of motors right up to ABB’s world-leading IE6 Hyper-Efficiency SynRM technology. However, beyond product supply, the new partnership unlocks a depth of service that sets a new standard for HAYLEY DEXIS. For the first time with any motor manufacturer, the agreement includes direct support from ABB for onsite commissioning and installation services for motors and drives.
