Leeds-based MBA Engineering — a leading supplier of laser cutting and metal fabrication equipment — has partnered with Gateshead-based Noblegen to offer a nitrogen generation system that could save laser users up to £1,000 per month (www.noblegen.co.uk).

The exclusive partnership will see MBA Engineering provide complete, one-stop nitrogen generation solutions from Noblegen alongside its renowned customer service and support, enabling manufacturers and engineers with day-to-day laser cutting operations to generate their own nitrogen, eliminating the need to buy the gas from an independent vendor.

Bradley McBain, MBA Engineering’s managing director (www.mba-eng.co.uk), said: “With gas prices forever changing, manufacturers run the risk of seeing their energy bills spiral, if efficient economical practices aren’t implemented.

"Like all our solutions, we aim to provide valuable cost savings for our customers, and these nitrogen generation systems can save customers thousands of pounds.

"Manufacturing companies are always looking for ways to reduce their overheads, and our new partnership with Noblegen delivers a long-term affordable solution for customers, which puts them in control of their nitrogen generation.

“Combining the British-made nitrogen generation system with a laser cutting machine creates a sustainable cost-effective laser cutting solution.

“Costs can also be significantly reduced with nitrogen generation systems, when compared to storing gas purchased from an independent vendor.

“The system also produces nitrogen at a pressure and flow rate required for a specific demand, generating low-cost nitrogen in the long run.”

As well as providing the equipment, MBA Engineering will manage the installation of a new nitrogen generation system, in addition to providing complete servicing and support.

Finance and leasing options are also available.
