“CMO Valves is a respected and well-known name in Europe,” says Bonomi UK, Sales Manager, Jason Hitchins. “Having successfully supplied European markets for many years, the company brings a wealth of innovative manufacturing, and a comprehensive range of core products aligned to the needs of the UK water industry.”
Against the backdrop of Clean Power 2030 and AMP8 – an initiative introduced by Ofwat to create an accountable framework for managing the water and wastewater services industry – Bonomi UK and CMO Valves aim to lead the charge in helping to accomplish the industry’s objectives of achieving net-zero emissions and improving sustainable practices.
“Among its other objectives,” says Cristian Arrabal, Technical Manager for CMO Valves, “AMP8 sets out quantified targets to reduce leakage, reduce pollution and to cut internal sewer flooding incidents. In this regard, our goal is to help businesses across each sector to make significant contributions through reliance on industry-proven, high-quality components.”
To support these goals, Bonomi UK plans to draw on the extensive stock holding of CMO Valves in Spain. Continued investment will enable the expansion of UK-based inventory, ensuring fast delivery and robust after-market support.
“CMO Valves is the perfect fit,” adds Jason Hitchins. “Together we continue to work closely with contractors, maintenance teams and plant engineers to offer customer-focused, practical and cost-effective solutions backed by round-the-clock technical support.”
