1989 to date......
2010 CPS took the opportunity
to expand the business into the adjacent premises doubling both the
office and warehouse facilities. This has enabled an increase in our
UK stock holding as well as enhancing several internal functions with
the recruitment of staff, including a full time test engineer providing
pre-despatch tetsing of all units. This year has also seen our Sirius
P range expand to 300 and 400kVA.
2009 The
start of 2009 has seen several product developments with the introduction
of our new high performance Sirius
P range from 100 to 250kVA as well
as a re-designed higher power version of our cost effective Power
Dialog range from 5 to 10kVA. CPS
has also launched a Central
Battery System (CBS) range designed
for emergency applications and compliant to key elements of EN50171.
2008 With
increasing stock and staff levels the company moved to a larger
premises in 2008. Warehouse space more than doubled and an open
planned office enabled all internal functions to be operated on
a single floor improving departmental communication. The new premises
also has the added benefit of a dedicated room for customers that
is now home to several of our UPS units providing the opportunity
for hands-on demonstratons and training. This led CPS to developement
it's own official CPD
presentation entitled "Static
UPS Principles and Selection Criteria". This year has also
seen our Starlet
M series developed to include 30
and 40kVA designs.
2007 2007
has seen many product developments allowing our rack based Dialog
Dual range
to extend up to 10kVA, the new Hyperion range extended downwards
to include 100, 125 and 160kVA models as well as the introduction
of the new high performance Starlet
M series.
2006 During 2006, CPS became an
integral part of an international manufacturing group enhancing
access to a wider range of established transformerless UPS designs
with the option of active filtering and advanced communication facilities.
CPS have also introduced the new highly competitive Hyperion range
from 200 to 300kVA which incorporates a power factor corrected rectifier
for low THDi and excellent performance.
2005
Since the beginning of 2005, CPS has seen greater expansion into
the ‘total power solution’ having installed a 900kVA
Generator and switchgear, 700kVA generator complete with switchgear
and cabling, plus a turnkey supply of 500kVA generator, 200kVA UPS
and all associated switchboards for distribution and auto changeover.
This year has also seen CPS consolidate their position as a major
UPS supplier to Hospital and Health Authorities throughout the UK
working with specialised partners to fullfil the increasing need
for secure isolated power systems in today’s NHS Hospitals.
2004 In
the early part of 2004 CPS launched the new website containing many
more pages with improved content about our products and services.
Improvements are now being made regularly ensuring that specs, news
and products are kept up to date. This year also saw CPS successfully
complete two significant combined UPS/Generator
projects consisting of a 275kVA Genset with a 100kVA UPS module
and a 400kVA Genset with
2 off 200kVA UPS modules.
Due to the increasing workload throughout this year CPS invested
in it’s staff by adding two new engineers to the service team,
designating a permanent contracts engineer and employing an in-house
sales support engineer.
2003 In
2003 CPS appointed an exclusive agent to represent business interests
in Scotland. 1997 During
1997, the company acquired the adjacent premises with a view to
expanding the warehouse operation and storage capacity. This extra
space also enabled CPS to bring CAD capabilities back in house.
The extra test facilities now mean that customer witness testing
could be carried out without disturbing normal test programs
and heat run requirements. This year also saw CPS secure it’s
first combined UPS/Generator order.
1995-96 In
1995CPS invested in a new Italian manufacturing
plant through R&D and shareholding. Early 1996 saw the introduction
of the Planet UPS with an initial model range from 10kVA to 125kVA.
The range proved to be extremely successful, a completely new design,
researched and developed by CPS and our European partners. Minor
facelifts and enhancements have enabled us to ensure these products
stay at the forefront of technology with the extension of the range
up to 500kVA.
1990 The
premises in Hitchin virtually doubled in size during 1990, to further
benefit customers with an extended test area and training facilities.
1988-89
Constant Power Services Ltd
was originally formed in the late 1980’s to provide a reliable
source of service support and engineering expertise in the field
of uninterruptible power supplies and power conditioning.
The company initially commenced trading near Peterborough, but at
the end of 1989it acquired it’s own premises
in Hitchin to ensure that stock levels and spares could be increased
to support an expanding customer base.
