THAMES SIDE TO SELL UTILCELL LOAD CELLS
Thames Side Sensors has significantly extended its product range following a deal to
make it the sole distributor in the United Kingdom and Ireland for Utilcell s.r.o., Spain's leading
load cell manufacturer.
Thames Side is now able to offer a range of load cells complementary to its own,
enabling it to provide an even more comprehensive service to existing customers, and expand into
new markets.
Founded in 1980, Utilcell have primarily provided load cells to scale manufacturers.
These are generally of smaller capacity than Thames Side Sensors's load cells and include the
350, a single ended shear beam for platform scales or silo tank and hopper scales. They also
make large capacity products for the weighbridge industry, including the 740 self-centring compression
column cell.
Mike Bailey, Thames Side Sensors's MD, says "We are extremely happy to be distributing
Utilcell products in the UK and Ireland. The company's commitment to quality and customer
service matches our own high standards and the extension to our range means we can now provide our
customers with a one-stop shop for all their weighing needs."
