The vote on Brexit has been cast and the UK wants to leave the EU. But the German company, Michael Koch GmbH, like many others aim to maintain their good relationships with their British customers. This is why Koch took the opportunity to launch the new campaign “Made for UK”, which sends out the message that Koch will not charge British companies buying their products any sort of Brexit fee. Koch would like to announce that besides not levying any Brexit fees, there will be no obstacles that could stand in the way of exporting to the UK. The dynamic energy storage solutions and safe brake resistors are synonymous with smart use of the DC link energy and they are “Made for UK”, which means nothing less than that they are advantageous for the entire world of electric drive technology. www.bremsenergie.de/en Leantechnik AG, based in Oberhausen, Germany, continues its dynamic, international development.
