High quality build of this rental
PRS allows repeated use The NEW ProtecWork Protective
Clothing From Snickers Workwear
The pressure reducing station pictured was an
exhibit on our stand at UWL recently. It attracted
a huge amount of positive comments and sales
enquiries, and even more so when we revealed
that it is, in fact, a rental unit which has been out
on site, uncovered during winter, for 8 months. ProtecWork is a new collection of protective
working clothes and accessories from Snickers
Workwear, which has developed out of over
40 years leading the workwear industry - and
through close consultation with users and
employers in the railway and energy sectors
around Europe. The market-leading risk-
protection properties of the clothing are
integral components of the extensive range
of Base-, Mid- and Top-Layer garments for
men and women that combine well with the
Snickers Workwear hallmarks of best-in-class
durability, comfort, ergonomics and fit. Fully
accredited as appropriate to a variety of risk
and weather conditions such as heat and
flame, electrostatic, chemical and bad weather
working environments, all the garments are
manufactured from tailor-made fabrics designed
to respond to the demands and risk factors of
the conditions in which they’re worn.
This pays tribute to our coating and assembly
regime. This particular skid will be deployed
anywhere in Europe over 10 times in its life. It
features our GASCAT regulators which can have
integral slam shuts fitted and these, combined
with our 3D design service, reduce the footprint
of gas stations, making them smaller and more
efficient.

Nelson Automotive
rebrands as Avistud
Global automotive stud welding leader Nelson
Automotive has announced a complete
rebrand of its business to customers,
stakeholders and industry peers. The newly
launched brand, AVISTUD, reflects the total
separation of the Nelson Automotive
business from the brand of its former industrial
parent Nelson Stud Welding. Nelson
Automotive was initially created as a standalone
automotive company following the sale of
Nelson Stud Welding from Doncasters to Stanley
Black & Decker in April 2018.
Henning Stams, chief executive of AVISTUD, said:
“The automotive industry is demanding
more speed and flexibility from its
manufacturing processes than ever before.
We have adapted our business to meet the
automotive sector’s requirement for more
lightweight, high-strength materials, electric
vehicles and faster manufacturing processes.”

Plymouth-based Waterjet
Industries re-financed their
state-of-the-art machinery
to raise £80,000 with Henry
Howard Finance to complete a
management buyout Horne Engineering
Launched in 2007, Waterjet Industries aims
to be the first choice for any water cutting
requirements. A waterjet is an industrial tool
that’s capable of cutting a wide variety of
materials using high pressure water. With two
precision waterjet machines, Waterjet Industries
work with businesses in numerous sectors
including aerospace, automotive, marine,
oil and gas, power generation and precision
engineering. Waterjet cutting technology is also
more environmentally friendly than traditional
precision cutting technology as there are no
noxious gases or liquids used, nor hazardous
vapours. The SWM1 produces temperature controlled
hot water to a maximum flow rate of 50 L/
min and is unrivalled in both its safety and
temperature control. Uniquely, it is both
thermostatic and pressure balanced and,
without cold water flow, steam cannot
enter the valve, ensuring user safety. A
real-time video demonstrates its remarkable
performance under varying and challenging
inlet conditions: goo.gl/sqp9f3
