SEMA spin-off assures quality storage equipment installations
1 min read
Businesses looking for storage equipment can be assured of reliable products and service if they choose a supplier from the SEMA distributor group (SDG) – that's the claim from the Storage Equipment Manufacturers' Association (SEMA), which has launched the new group.
The group comprises 30 independent distributors – some of which were members of the now defunct Storage & Equipment Distributors' Association – which have all signed up to the SDC charter with its rigorous health and safety and training standards, plus assurance of installation of original equipment.
SDC membership calls for companies to have been trading for a minimum of two years, and to hold a main distributorship from a recognised manufacturer of storage equipment. All are subject to random audits to ensure standards are maintained.
John Halliday, president of SEMA, said: "The new group strengthens the relationship between well-designed storage solutions from SEMA manufacturers and the SEMA distributor companies who supply and install them. This gives clients the ability to identify storage solutions that will meet their demands and enable them to operate their storage activities with total confidence."
David Camm, chairman of the SDC, added: "Our base of SDC members is already fully approved and we anticipate that the group will grow quickly. However, joining criteria are strict and commitment to a random audit will be a deterrent to some. Our aim is for SEMA and SDG status to be specified on tenders so that end users can be confident in appointing a suitable supplier.'
