Supply fears grow for LEZ filters as maker closes its door
A SUPPLIER OF filters that enable trucks to comply with London's low-emission zone (LEZ) has gone into administration, fuelling fears of supply problems for operators wishing to avoid fines.
However, a fitter for the Gat EuroKat filter, Longmore Auto Repairs (LAR), has stepped in to honour all orders placed by distributors after they faced losing money.
Robert Rutherford at insolvency firm Parkin Booth confirms that Merseyside-based A&I Peco went into administration on 30 June. It supplied filters which can make Euro-0 vehicles Euro-4 compliant. It is now attempting to sell the business, but it is no longer trading after all production staff were dismissed.
LAR boss Adam Longmore says: "We are handling the orders placed for Peco and are getting the money from Gat. There may be a delay of one or two weeks, though.
'We had so many ordered through Peco we couldn't leave it. We had a meeting yesterday with Gat and they will supply us direct. We were so far in with it that it didn't make sense to let it go" Gat MD Gerd van Aaken says there are other companies which also supply the filter.
