Business profile
With overhead line products from Arthur Flury used in more than forty countries worldwide, the scale of opportunity in the UK made it an easy decision to establish a business here
T
he one hundred per cent owned subsidiary of Arthur Flury AG, has been trading successfully in the UK for more than three years. Prior to the launch of its UK operation, Flury supported the UK market through a specialist agent, but when that closed, the scale of opportunity in the UK rail industry made it an easy decision for Flury to establish its own business, which is based in Milton Keynes not far from Network Rail’s HQ.
The Flury portfolio of OLE products includes a wide range of conical couplers, forked collar sockets, droppers, clamps, turnbuckles, insulator rods, section insulators, neutral sections, live line indicators and earthing material. Flury’s UK managing director Paul Culnane said: ‘Everything is built with care, designed to last and is easy to install, and this philosophy is exemplified by the forked collar sockets and conical couplers used within a catenary system. Installed within minutes, these components provide years of service and have been tested so that the conductor will break before the collet gives way. Perhaps it is not surprising to know that thousands of these important products are in use around the world.'
Always a product to meet demand When the requirement is for quality, durability and ease of use there is almost always a Flury product to meet the demand. For many rail professionals, the Flury brand is synonymous with section insulators and whether for trams or high speed rail, units are available in multiple configurations to meet the specific requirements of different systems. Most recently Flury has deployed the HI25 section insulator with spring dropper suspension to allow quicker and easier installation. Completing the picture are Flury neutral sections, and again, the company has a real heritage in these products. The unique performance of the NSR25 single rod neutral section permits higher speed passage of trains compared to conventional equipment, and is the latest offering in a range of world-class products.
Growth during 91 years' trading During its ninety-one years' trading, Arthur Flury AG has grown from a simple
buildings. With years of experience, modern manufacturing techniques and a contemporary quality management system, Flury assures the highest quality products.’
The company’s heritage lies in
craftsman’s business into a modern and dynamic industrial company with ISO9001 approval. Today, Flury employs more than a hundred people at its headquarters in Deitingen, Switzerland. Culnane summarised: ‘The company’s products meet the highest requirements in railway technology and the factory also produces components for power distribution as well as lightning protection and grounding systems for
specialist and advanced production engineering techniques of cold forming, stamping and chip removal of copper alloys, which are all decisive factors in the ability to produce light, stable and conductive components to international quality standards.
Overhead line products from Arthur Flury are now in use in more than forty countries worldwide. Tram, metro and suburban trains in the largest cities, along with regional and national railway organisations, rely on the quality of its products for a smooth running operation.
