Given the existing close working relationship with ABB, it was a natural step to extend this. As a result, BI has expanded its motor range in size to include a 400 V and 525 V offering, now allowing it to supply projects in the mining industry.

Customers will benefit from dealing with a local supplier versus direct imports, plus the availability of quick technical back-up and support. BI’s extensive 42-branch network across South Africa covers all the major mining and industrial areas.

BI is ensuring that its branch network has sufficient stock of the IE1 motors. First-level customer support will be provided by BI’s own sales team and product managers, while second-level support for technical issues will be provided by ABB itself.
