THE planning of Highvolt and LPEng has paid off: After two
years, the Highvolt Service Centre in São Paulo, Brazil, has
already earned a good reputation and can look back on its
first successes.
In January 2015, LPEng, the Highvolt representation
in Brazil, opened the first local Highvolt Service Centre
worldwide, located at LPEng’s headquarters in São Paulo.
Initially, the focus was on Brazilian customers, who benefit
from an improved range of services.
“In the meantime, our service centre has got established
so well that its activities have been extended successfully
across national borders,” explained Highvolt sales engineer
Dan Keller.
Highvolt and LPEng have been working together closely
for 17 years. The managing directors of both companies are
certain that the demand for high-quality consulting services
when planning high voltage test laboratories is going to
increase.
The South American customers of Highvolt can now take
advantage of many of the services offered directly on site,
including training, thus saving time and costs.
