The East Midlands firm is already a significant supplier to the industry with a wide customer base and it now plans to deliver its products to even more organisations across the UK, Europe, the Far East and the Middle East.
Demand has been especially strong for the firm’s safe degreasing solution ‘Lotoxane’ and its ‘Ecowash Autoshine’ exterior train wash, which provides clients with a cost effective way of keeping their rolling stock clean and operational.
Campbell says: “We’ve been operating in the rail sector for over 45 years, during which time we have proven that our cleaning and maintenance solutions can deliver performance over and above other alternatives.
“Our products are continually updated and refined to ensure they surpass the different challenges faced by the rail industry. It’s not just a case of providing them with a solution; we pride ourselves on getting underneath the skin of our clients, finding out what the issues/opportunities are and then applying a strategy that will help them improve performance, keeping their rolling stock running and, hopefully, saving them money in the process.”
He adds: “We also have a team of R&D specialists working in our laboratory in Moira and they’re continually looking to enhance existing products and develop new technologies. This gives us a great competitive advantage and one we are looking to press home.
“This is a very exciting opportunity to develop Arrow’s business in a strategically important market, which has significant growth potential with £48bn Government investment planned between now and 2024. HS2 and Crossrail are both exciting projects and that’s just the UK…our reach is global.”
Going forward, the firm believes there are significant opportunities for supplying professional chemical products for the cleaning and maintenance of bogies and wheel sets.
