Infrastructure engineering specialists Firstco have become the latest addition to ABB’s Value Provider program in the UK. As an accredited ABB channel partner, Firstco will benefit from access to ABB’s extensive product and support offering for PLCs and SCADA and are certified to carry out service and integration to a factory-level standard, allowing Firstco to provide engineering solutions of the highest quality.
Since its founding in 1998, Firstco has established itself as one of the foremost suppliers of engineered control and communication systems in the UK and has been a key partner in delivering several notable projects including Heathrow Terminal 5 and Crossrail. Specialising in the critical infrastructure, power management and data centre sectors, Firstco has a long track record of delivering successful projects across airport, rail, road, maritime and built environment applications, as well as in industrial automation.
Firstco’s certification as an ABB Value Provider will allow the company enhanced access to ABB’s PLC and SCADA offering, including its ABB AbilityTM Zenon platform, together with a wide range of services, technical advice, training and bespoke contracts. All members of ABB’s channel partner network are carefully selected based on their technical expertise and quality of service. As the first PLC and SCADA supplier to join ABB’s UK network, Firstco will be uniquely positioned to leverage the most advanced ABB automation products and solutions for its customers.
The agreement is the culmination of several years of successful collaboration, as Firstco’s Michael Gray, Managing Director, explains: “The journey towards becoming an approved Value Provider has been in the works for some time, and we are delighted to now see it come to fruition. Rather than using lots of products from lots of different manufacturers, we have always felt that we can serve our customers best by establishing meaningful partnerships with a small number of suppliers who understand us and can provide the support and products we need to deliver outstanding results.”
