Danfoss, manufacturer of
high efficiency electronic and mechanical components for air-conditioning,
heating, refrigeration and motion systems, today announced the launch of
DanfossDirect, a
new website that the company says allows customers to easily configure and
purchase industrial valves, coils and accessories.
Featuring an online configurator tool, DanfossDirect enables
users and installers of components for industrial applications, such as
industrial water, hot water, steam and air compressors, as well as OEMs, to
custom design a complete valve package and order direct for fast delivery
throughout the United States. The configurator also will make suggestions for
proper coils and accessories based on the user’s valve selection.
The new website is easy-to-use, Danfoss says, allowing users
to search for fluid controls by application, industry or type. Danfoss products
available through DanfossDirect include solenoid, thermostatic and pneumatic
valves, and some specialty products, such as steam valves. Also available are
coils, repair kits and accessories. Customers will be able to pay by credit
card for easy, simplified ordering.
To develop DanfossDirect, Danfoss partnered with Peerless Electronics Inc.,
a Long Island, N.Y.-based national distributor, serving component user and
small OEM businesses throughout the United States. Peerless Electronics will
not only process and fulfill the online orders, Danfoss says, but will also be
able to handle most specification and technical questions that DanfossDirect
users may encounter.
“Peerless Electronics keeps the most popular parts in stock
and can ship immediately,” says Joe Krisher, Danfoss project manager for
DanfossDirect, in a company press release. “This means customers can get their
parts as soon as the day after they place their order.” Krisher added that
customers will be able to view stock levels so they know in advance how much
product is available to ship and when.
“The entire Peerless team is pleased to be part of this
exciting new partnership with Danfoss,” says Dave Rome, Peerless Electronics’
chief marketing officer. “It is our goal that customers in the United States
have instant access to this product line of the highest quality thermostatic
and solenoid valves, coils and accessories that, together, Danfoss and Peerless
will strive to provide on time, every time.”
“We’re excited that this new website, with the help of
Peerless Electronics, will serve as yet another channel through which we can
provide quality service to our customers,” said Krisher. “We want it to be as
easy to do business with us as possible. And, perhaps more so, we want
DanfossDirect to make it easier for our customers to conduct their own
businesses.”
