Prodef Engineers Limited has been singled out for appointment as a UK “authorised automotive distributor and design centre” by Graco, a prominent company in fluid handling equipment.

Following a major restructuring of the organisation’s world wide distribution network, Graco Limited in Smethwick has withdrawn from direct business with end-users in the UK. The company’s international headquarters, based in the USA, has signalled an intention to concentrate its very considerable experience and resources on core activities – specifically high-performance equipment design, development and manufacture.

In future, Graco will rely on business partnerships with progressive companies to promote its interests outside the USA – organisations such as Prodef Engineers, which was selected on the basis of proven expertise in designing and installing sophisticated viscous fluid handling systems.

Prodef Engineers already has a long-standing relationship with Graco – not only as a distributor, but also as a specialist in its own right in the design and implementation of advanced-technology fluids handling solutions for the British automotive industry. As such, the company is fully conversant with engineering large-scale systems for the application of adhesives and sealants using the latest robotic “precision flo” and “precision swirl” technology.
