Landia UK is marking its 30th anniversary of business.
Set up in 1994 as a subsidiary of Landia A/S in Denmark (established 1933), the UK company began as a humble, two-person operation with Liz Robinson, and the late Hugh Vaughan.
Today, Liz Robinson, together with Paul Davies, lead the company that prides itself on helping companies find solutions to their wastewater/slurry pumping needs, serving the water, food, farming and biogas industries, plus many more. Landia UK’s longevity mirrors the proven long-lasting operation of its low maintenance equipment, which they say offers customers unrivalled total cost of ownership.
“From a standing start as a complete unknown 30 years ago, we’ve firmly established our reputation as problem solvers, with great products and tailored solutions,” said Liz Robinson.
“I want to thank our hard-working team for their dedication and belief in what we provide, which to some at first, doesn’t appear to be cheapest, but will, in the long-term almost certainly prove to be so.”
Recent successes for Landia UK include its digester mixing system for the biogas sector, with landmark installations for Yorkshire Water, Scottish Water, Eco Verde Energy and Cannington Bio Energy. In addition, Landia UK has won significant praise for its work in helping provide pumping/aeration solutions to the Timothy Taylor’s Brewery, Deeside Cereals, plus numerous farms all over the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Landia UK’s Paul Davies, added: “We’re very proud of marking our 30th anniversary, but year in, year out, demand continues to grow for our pumps, especially where hard-to-handle solids in wastewater and slurries create big problems for equipment that isn’t robust enough. We also pride ourselves on the back-up we always give to our customers. After a sale, unlike some, we don’t just walk away.
“We’re also into our 18th consecutive year of offering training and career opportunities to prospective local young engineers, which is now paying dividends. Members of our team who learnt their trade as apprentices in the workshop are now out in the field, servicing and selling Landia equipment. These talented young people will play a key part in our future.”
