Halmstad Hospital
chooses hermetic doors
Halmstad Hospital in Sweden compared the offers of three
different companies when making plans to install automated
hermetic doors in the entrances to three hospital
laboratories.
After evaluating proposals from ASSA ABLOY and two
other companies, the hospital chose the Hermetic Automatic
Door System from ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems,
which is specially designed for clean-room environments,
for its radiotherapy department.
Nicholas Nemeth of ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems in
Sweden says that, in addition to the product’s reliability,
the hospital’s previous experience with the company
helped it to win the contract.
“We have a very good relationship with Halmstad Hospital
and this was a prestige project that we really wanted
to be a part of, ”Nicholas explains. “In addition to the hermetic
doors, the hospital had also worked with us this year
on automating 150 swing doors and 10 sliding doors. We
were able to put together a competitive proposal for a
complete solution.”
That complete solution involves service and maintenance
performed by local technicians in the Halmstad area.
“You shouldn’t underestimate the value of being able to
provide a local service organization,” Nicholas explains.
“The hospital’s facilities management staff and a locally
based technician from ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems will
jointly handle all service and maintenance issues.”
Olle Nilsson, Facility Manager at Halmstad Hospital, is
very pleased with the way ASSA ABLOY handles the education
of his technicians.
“In most cases we deal with the maintenance of our
doors ourselves, but when we run into real difficulties we
need ASSA ABLOY’s assistance,” he says. “They are always
helpful and service-minded.”
