Moody forms heat exchange collaboration

UK-based Moody has established a joint venture with the heat exchanger specialists, PJ Heat Exchangers. The agreement means that Moody will now be able to provide a dedicated, plate heat exchanger service and maintenance facility to its dairy, food and drinks industry customers, within the UK and Ireland.

PJ Heat Exchangers will receive additional capital to finance expansion and will benefit from Moody's management system, with the opportunity to significantly increase business opportunities within Moody's client base.

Malcolm Wilkinson, Moody chief executive, believes the collaboration has benefits for both sides: "We were keen to find a reliable and experienced partner to provide a comprehensive service and maintenance package for plate heat exchangers. PJ Heat Exchangers' established infrastructure and expertise matched these needs exactly.

"We can now provide our clients with a highly professional service - from cleaning and testing to servicing and maintenance - at a very competitive price."

Vince Moore, managing director of PJ Heat Exchangers, believes that Moody's track record within the UK dairy and food industry will be a key factor in the company's future growth.

"Having a like-minded partner of Moody's calibre will enhance our credentials when attacking the marketplace. In return, we can extend their markets within the pharmaceutical, chemical and oil sector."​Moody Systems supply, rebuild, install and maintain production facilities for the food and drink industry. UK-based PJ Heat Exchangers offers complete maintenance and repair service on all makes of plate heat exchangers.
