PROVISION
How Vapormatic has become a leading replacement agricultural parts supplier
Vapormatic was founded by Arthur Lea and Ron Foster in 1949 . “ The pair saw an opportunity for a product that could help combat issues arising from the post-war fuel shortages . Ron Foster had designed a vaporizer manifold that converted agricultural engines to run off vaporizing oil ,” explains Zoe Ashby , Managing Director of Vapormatic . “ As engines and fuels evolved , Vapormatic diversified its product range , eventually growing into the leading range of alternative parts for all makes of tractor .
“ The specialism that Vapormatic is now known for ,” Zoe elaborates , “ is the engine portfolio . We are seen by many customers as a technical partner . They recognize not only the quality of our parts , but also the services we provide . For example , as well as providing the highest quality pistons or crankshafts we also offer pre-built short motors , which is an engine block already fitted with everything it needs to be ready to fit into an engine . This is something that can save our customers significant amounts of time .
“ The strength of the product is such that we can offer a full 12-month warranty which includes not only the cost of the product , but any time taken to make the repair . While engines may be what we are best known for , we also offer a very broad portfolio of products that include full ranges of accessories , PTO , hydraulics , trailer and combine parts , paints , plus radios , camera systems and immobilizers .”
