Dear Elda:
Please be advised that Thompson Pump & Manufacturing Company is a SOLE SOURCE provider for purchasing spare parts and accessories and completing service and repair to the pumps that are manufactured by our company. This assures that the equipment that is serviced or repaired or spare parts purchased and installed will continue to meet current Thompson Pump specifications related to equipment performance and operation. We would like to illustrate some specific key characteristics that will allow you to receive the best possible value for these SOLE SOURCE parts and services:
• Direct from the Manufacturer: As an ISO9001:2015, ISO14001-2015, ISO 45001-2018 company, you and your team have the reliability of obtaining parts and services of the highest possible quality from Thompson Pump. All parts are specific to how the pumps were manufactured. This makes Thompson Pump superior to other suppliers regarding product knowledge and logistical efficiency.
• Design/Production Archives: This allows Thompson Pump quicker access to up-to-date information assuring that pumps meet current specifications regarding performance, operation, and parts updates needed for the pump model. This minimizes delivery times, minimizing purchasing costs, and errors in communication. This is a value Thompson Pump can provide, and others cannot.
• Competitive Parts Pricing: The current parts pricing structure for you is the lowest in the industry for the quality obtained. Due to Thompson Pump being the manufacturer of the products requiring service, the parts and labor can be quoted from our baseline cost. This translates into additional savings for you that no other supplier can match.
• Proven Performance and Value: Your team has worked with Thompson Pump and has compiled an extensive track record of exceptional service. This will continue to be the best value for many years to come.
Thank you for your interest in Thompson Pump products and service, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
