Teledyne GMI expands Southeast support
Teledyne Gas Measurement Instruments (Teledyne GMI) has announced a partnership with Southern Cross, a Sparus company, to distribute its gas and leak detection portfolio to gas utility customers across the Southeast region of the United States.
The company said Southern Cross will also provide regional service support alongside the existing Teledyne GMI USA service centre in Cypress, Texas.
The agreement was announced from Renfrew, Scotland.
Teledyne GMI said the arrangement is intended to improve response times and technical support for customers using gas detection technologies in the region.
Teledyne GMI products and service scope
The portfolio covered by the distribution agreement includes the GS700, GS500, GT Series and PS200.
The company said the instruments are supported by its GDCloud platform, which provides centralised real-time access to field information.
It said the platform is used for fleet management, compliance reporting, preventive maintenance and operational decision-making.
Shannon Sanders, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Americas, Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection, said: “We are pleased to offer our advanced detection solutions through Southern Cross.
“This partnership strengthens our ability to support U.S. gas utilities with local expertise, reliable service, and proven technologies.”
Southern Cross role in US rollout
Teledyne GMI said the partnership with Southern Cross brings combined sector experience in the gas utility market and extends its service presence in the United States.
Jody Boyles, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Sparus, said: “Through Southern Cross, Sparus has been protecting gas infrastructure since 1946.
“Partnering with Teledyne GMI as an authorized distributor brings together a combined 200 years of utility experience, so crews can work more safely and customers get faster access to the safety technology they rely on.”
Jeff Schechtman, Chief Operating Officer, Sparus, added: “This partnership creates access and support at a larger scale.
“With Sparus’ national field footprint, we’ll put Teledyne GMI portable gas detectors in technicians’ hands quickly with the training, service and coverage gas utilities expect.
“Anchored in our shared values of safety, innovation and integrity, we’re helping customers maintain their critical infrastructure and support efforts to reduce emissions.”
