Therco’s material stock philosophy along with its machining, drilling and fitting capability was put to the test at the beginning of March 2009. At the request of a key client/partner, Therco manufactured 20 replacement tube bundles over a 2 week period from serial number data only. A ships breakdown status was thereby kept to an absolute minimum. With the main metallurgy being 90/10 copper nickel, the work scope on these sea water cooled bundles is detailed opposite.

This successfully executed test came at a time when Therco’s £9.3million 2008 Audited accounts where placed in the public domain and our sales order book was holding out at £3million. Combine this with Thercos continued and significant inward investment and the company considers itself well positioned for the continuing challenges of the new global economy.
