Solving Your Problems

We operate as a group of four business units set up to solve our customers' problems in the varying sectors we serve. Each unit  has a dedicated team of professionals who understand our customer's problems and are skilled at solving them, no matter how complicated. Typically our customers come to us because they are suffering from some, or many of the following problems:

• Poor reliability & high breakdown costs
• Slow response times to emergencies
• Motors keep failing in service
• Average level of customer service
• Lack of confidence in other motor repairers and HV coils manufacturers
• Unacceptable quality management
• Slow turnaround times
• Trains don't run on time
• Supplier does not understand their needs
• Poor engineering standards
• Supplier is not proactive
• They operate an unplanned maintenance regime
• No motor management system in place
• Lack of expertise
• No product and/or commercial innovation

We work alongside our customers to solve these problems and provide a bespoke commercial framework which outlines the value we add.

We specialise in the repair and rewinding of traction motors and MA Sets for the UK and international rail markets. We are expert repairers of Low Voltage & High Voltage motors, alternators and transformers with our own brand new dedicated High Voltage Coil Manufacturing facility.

Houghton International also provide turnkey solutions for the design, installation, commissioning and life cycle servicing of motor/drive systems, generators and general electrical capital projects.

We sub contract repair and maintenance expertise into general industry and provide consultancy and engineering support for energy efficiency and emissions management solutions.
