Precision Plus Vacuum Parts was established in 1984 in New
Jersey. Since then Precision Plus has become one of the largest independent
suppliers of replacement vacuum pump parts in the world.
In 2006 Precision Plus established a new office to serve
Europe, the Middle East and African territories (or EMEA). Located in Munich,
Germany the EMEA Sales and Distribution center provides a central European
shipping site which cuts down on shipping time and costs. Precision Plus EMEA
warehouses over 400 different kits and 5,000 individual parts that range from
15 cents to over 3500 Euros.
According to Stefan Engel, Manager Precision Plus EMEA,
having an office in EMEA is vital because “with the EMEA distribution center we
can serve thousands of customers in EMEA with our fast overnight shipment, we
are located Germany, one of the biggest economies in Europe. A large number of
OEM customers surrounding are also located here. It is vital for our business to
be located here in the middle of the action.”
Fast shipping is not the only reason having an EMEA office
in is important, customers also receive a quick response, get competitive
pricing, realize an easy ordering process (without customs and tax issues) and get
to work with an outstanding support team within the same time zone.
Currently Precision Plus EMEA serves more than 1,100
companies. Precision Plus EMEA’s first customer was the University of Iceland
(They bought a gasket kit for a Leybold Rotary vane pump).
The success of the business is just beginning, according to Stefan,
“growth will continue as it has in the past. We are getting better and better
every year. The customer base is growing, also our team, to give the best
support the customer can expect. We haven’t touched all areas where vacuum is
used in the field, so we have a lot of opportunities just waiting for us. I
can’t wait to see what the next 10 years brings.”
Happy 10th Anniversary Precision Plus EMEA.
