ABB expands AVP network

Established in the 1980s, Geku Automation specialises in the design, build and testing of automation systems for all sectors of industry, from aerospace through to agricultural manufacturing, backed up by service, programming and application support. Previously an ABB Robotics Channel Partner, the company has supplied ABB robots to a variety of companies including The Royal Mint, Unilever, Bostik and CHX Products.

The award of AVP status is recognition of Geku’s demonstrated expert robot application and process knowledge, a clear local and global ABB product offering, strong local market presence and industry-specific experience. Geku’s staff are also fully trained on ABB products in order to deliver high quality service support when an end user needs it.

As an AVP, Geku will have access to a wide range of benefits from ABB Robotics UK. These include free training courses which the staff have already attended, plus use of ABB’s training and demonstration facilities to trial and demonstrate solutions for end users.

Further, the company will have full use of the AVP label, which signifies system integration expertise as well as an established relationship with ABB Robotics UK. With no official directory for end users to contact reputable system integrators, the AVP programme serves as a way of advertising a dependable and high quality service provider.
