Company News Monday, September 27, 2010: Arthur Rushmer Engineering Ent cc
Arthur Rushmer Engineering (ARE) was established in 1997 as a specialist service supplier for rotary vane compressors and the sole distributor for Mattei rotary vane compressors in South Africa.
Kevin Rushmer, CEO of ARE, says the company distinguished itself in the market by providing expert services as well as industry leading products. "Subsequent to gaining the Mattei distributorship, our service and support brought a number of blue chip companies to our door and we were engaged at various smelter plants in SA and Mozambique.
"We therefore decided to enhance our rotary vane services with rotary screw products and services, most significantly gaining sole distributorship of the Champion range of air compressors in 2002."
It was then that ARE's management realised the market needed more than good products and service. ARE was the first company in its field to offer comprehensive maintenance contracts. Rushmer says these 'Aircontracts' are similar to the motor plan available on many cars today and provide for mandatory servicing of the products throughout the duration of the agreement.
The company was very successful in this endeavour and soon found it could not supply Mattei and Champion products in sufficient numbers. In 2005, the group gained the Kaiser distributorship to supplement its product line.
These products are handled via a subsidiary company, Air Bank Corporation (ABC), which is responsible for the servicing, condition monitoring and maintenance of all the units rented to customers on a maintenance contract. The clients, of which there are now over 100, are given the option to purchase their compressors at the end of the contract period.
