Georg UK decided that Control Techniques drives were the perfect mix of specialist expertise, innovative design, and had all the characteristics, features, and reliability to meet the needs of their programmable dynamometers.

Control Techniques announces an extension to its highly flexible general purpose Commander range – the Commander C300 PM. This new variant is designed to build upon the inherent high efficiency of sensorless permanent magnet (PM) motors, reducing running costs while optimising overall system performance.

The Solar Pump Solution developed by Control Techniques provides not only a cost-effective and scalable solution but will deliver reduced operational costs, improved availability, and increased sustainability by using locally generated renewable energy to keep the pump running.

Katy Squires, our Partner Relationship Manager, has generously volunteered her spare time to mentor the aspiring workforce of tomorrow. Recognising and nurturing potential often requires the guidance of experienced professionals, we encourage our employees to take the lead in shaping the future generation of professionals.
