McDonald Engineers’ French Connection for Thermal Store

Thermal Stores from McDonald Engineers
McDonald Engineers have demonstrated their superior service and their competitive pricing by securing the contract to manufacture and ship one of their THERMflow thermal stores to France for a key client.
With a growing reputation for being the company to turn to for a quick turnaround on hot water cylinders, McDonald Engineers were able to help a client who enquired on a Thursday about the possibility of having a 210 litre cased THERMflow manufactured and despatched on the Monday to a project in France.
With their HQ based in Scotland, this could have been seen by many manufacturers as mission impossible, however, not ones for letting their clients down, McDonald Engineers said “Mais Oui and initiated their fast track manufacturing process.”
“We are proud to have a highly efficient manufacturing process and highly committed team which meant the order was despatched on time, despite the extremely short time frame” said sales director, Jamie Stewart.
He continued, “However, we believe that there will always be room for improvement and we are delighted that our knowledge transfer partnership with Strathclyde University which looks at process improvement and new product development is already paying dividends.”

McDonald Engineers’ Custom Cylinders Save Money on Large Thermal Store Contract

THERMflow Thermal Stores from McDonald Engineers
Dispelling the myth that bespoke cylinders are just for one-off projects, McDonald Engineers has enabled one Scottish Local Authority to save a significant amount of time and installation costs on a project which required over 400 thermal stores.
By working closely with the project team, McDonald Engineers were able to re- position several key connections on its standard THERMflow Thermal Store, to suit the incoming pipework and make it easier for the installation team to access.
In doing so, the installation team were able to install the cylinders much quicker and with less materials, saving time, money and hassle on site.
McDonald Engineers’ Sales Director, Jamie Stewart, explained, “Our flexible manufacturing process is renowned for being able to produce one off cylinders quickly and efficiently. However there is a growing client base, who now realise the enormous benefits that can be achieved just by tweaking the design of existing products for large volume contracts.”
He continued, “By making simple changes, such as repositioning the connections, clients can achieve significant time and material savings. When you add up all the savings, whether it is on a contract of 20 homes or 20,000 cylinder installations, it’s easy to see how much can be saved.”
