We are delighted to share that AMV Systems have been named Mechanical Maintenance Company of the Year, by the Republic of Ireland Prestige Awards 2022/2023.

The judging process examined the quality of the products & services we offer, the efficiency of our operations regarding customer service and our employee satisfaction levels, and we excelled in all areas.

Since forming in 1998, AMV systems has grown to a team of 19 full time personnel including mechanical engineers, field staff & office administration staff. AMV Systems continually invests in the education of our team to ensure all members of staff, on & off site, have the expertise to always provide comprehensive & professional maintenance service.

We offer nationwide maintenance service to various sectors including the pharmaceutical, food processing and medical device industries, to hotel & leisure and retail companies and commercial & industrial office buildings. We pride ourselves on developing long-term relationships with our contracting clients to ensure that their needs are fully met. We aim to continually grow these relationships by consistently exceeding our clients’ expectations on quality and budget.

Sean Foxe, Operations Manager AMV Systems, said on the win, ‘We are ecstatic to gain this award. We are immensely proud of the team here and this win only cements our knowledge that we have the highest calibre of staff providing impeccable service. Going forward we look forward to building on this success’.

Echoing Sean’s sentiment John Dempsey, CEO, said, ‘Its brilliant to see AMV systems getting the acknowledgment for the top class work they provide’. Jim Mullett CEO added, ‘This win is a testament to the hard work & dedication of all the staff, and particularly of Seán Foxe & David Morrissey who constantly drive the company forward.’

We are delighted to see that RTE news featured a summary of the independent test results undertaken by Plasma Air for the Ionisation products AMV Systems sell and distribute on the Irish market.

There is mounting evidence to suggest that clean, disinfected air plays a vital role in preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing Coronvirus/ COVID-19.  Click here for more information on the range of Bipolar Ionisation products we sell and distribute in Ireland. A summary of the test results can be read here 

Bipolar Ionisation (BPI) has been around for a long time. It arrived in the States in the 1970s and was largely used in the food manufacturing sector to help reduce bacteria, viruses and mould. It is now enjoying a resurgence in popularlity with the onset of the Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic as the world scrambles to find solutions to keep themselves, their staff and customers safe. It has already been proven effective against Sars, norovirus and other influenza strains.

AMV Systems is delighted to partner with Gibbons Engineering Group to sell, market and install 4 needlepoint ion generators.  BPI products are mounted on in centralised air conditioning systems. Ions are drawn through the coil and keep the coil clean as it kills bacteria, mould and viruses thus removing the annual need to clean the cooling coil and drain pan.  The journey of the ion continues through the ducting system, cleaning it as it makes it way to its final destination in the building to expell quality air.

In addition the ions remove harmful small particules from the air, often too small for the filter to remove. As in nature, when air flows through the system, it results in the formation of millions of of negative and positive ions which clump the particles together. These larger particles are then more easily filtered out.

BPI is excellent at removing odors like cigarette smoke, foul sewer smells or ammonia smells. It is simple and easy to install in new or existing AHUs. BPI is totally automatic and chemical free and can operate independently or as part of an integrated system.

UVC Technology is more important today than it has ever been. One of the key messages in the 5 phase roadmap issued by the Government to re-open the Irish economy, is that preventative measures will save lives.  This will be achieved by reducing the spread of the Coronavirus/Covid-19 and protecting the vulnerable. This by no means an easy task, but thankfully help is at hand.

Returning to the workplace post Coronavirus/Covid-19 poses a challenge to small and large businesses alike. Whilst collaboration between the employer and employee will help realise a safe and healthy working environment, the overarchng burden falls to the employer to provide the mechanism to do so.

To prevent the spread of the Coronavirus/Covid-19 in our workplace, it is essential that good hygiene etiquette is maintained and that social distancing is adhered to.

An additional preventative measure is to ensure that good air quality is circulated throughout your premises. UVC inactivates bacteria, mould and viruses, including Coronavirus/Covid-19, within the biofilm that can build up in coils in Air handling Units.

The Total Coil Disinfection (TCD) System is the go-to UVC technology that delivers 24/7 non-invasive disinfection level cleaning regime for cooling coils in AHU’s.

AMV Systems, with our partner Gibbons Engineering Group, model our TCD systems to irradiate the full face of the coil killing the growth of viruses (including the Coronavirus/Covid-19) and reinstating system performance to as built. The proven method of biofilm eradicaton is Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI)

A massive well done to Sean Rath, EHS Manager AirconMech and AMV Systems, who achieved his couch to 10k run in style for the Run in the Dark Charity Challenge which took place last night from Wexford Quay. Thankfully the rain didn’t materialise on this bitterly cold night.

This poignant event raises much-needed funds for the Mark Pollock Trust. Many of you will know Mark as the adventure athlete who competed in ultra-endurance races following the loss of his sight in 1998. In fact, he was the first blind person to race to the south pole. Tragically in 2010, Mark fell from a second-story window which nearly killed him. He broke his back leaving him paralysed. Mark’s new expedition is to cure paralysis in our lifetime.

Well done again Sean! You did yourself and us proud!
