History

In 2000 the Woodward manufacturing facility in Reading, England was closed. As a result of this Turner Diesel was appointed as distributor and AISF for the United Kingdom and Ireland to service the end-user market.

In 2005 Woodward Governor Hoofddorp, The Netherlands restructered their organization. This change created a need to establish a Woodward distributor in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) to service the end-user market.

As a result of this Turner Engine Control Solutions have been established and is a Woodward Central Distributor, Authorized Independent Service Facility for the Benelux and Recognized Turbine Retrofit company. Our organization consists of many ex-Woodward employees and we take pride in our experience and craftsmanship.

Woodward has an extensive network of retrofitters and distributors to support end-users with their needs for support or desires to retrofit their older systems.

Initially founded in 1912 as a supplier to the emerging automotive industry, the Turner Group has evolved through steady organic growth as well as acquisition.

Currently, the group enjoys a turnover in excess of £220m, a reputation for profit retention and a solid financial base from which to operate. A privately controlled group of autonomous companies, the Turner Group is engaged in the supply and servicing of equipment, as well as the provision of comprehensive support services.

Although the individual companies span a remarkably diverse range of sectors, first-class service to customers is the principal object of every single activity.

Employing around 2,000 loyal and dedicated professionals across both hemispheres (mostly outside its native Scotland), the customer-focused group is driven by a passion for taking ownership of customers challenges. Solutions of the highest standard are then implemented to meet agreed timescales and precise requirements.

Turner Engine Control Solutions is a wholly owned subsidiary of Turner & Company (Glasgow) Limited, a privately owned business with headquarters in Glasgow, Scotland.
