Partner Spotlight: Yaskawa Supports Emergency Storm Response
When Tropical Storm Debby struck upstate New York, it left widespread damage across local communities. With over six inches of rainfall, severe flooding damaged more than 100 homes and businesses, washed out roads, and submerged five pumps at a local lift station.
In response, Siewert Equipment’s service team quickly mobilized to restore critical infrastructure. Despite difficult conditions—where electrical components were submerged in several feet of sewage—our technicians worked alongside our regional sales manager from Yaskawa America, Inc. – Drives & Motion Division to provide replacement equipment and on-site support.
Thanks to Yaskawa’s 24/7 shipping capabilities and exceptional technical support, the essential components were delivered without delay. Our team traveled to the site to assist with installation, setup, and configuration, ensuring the lift station was brought back online quickly and safely.
This event highlights the strength of our partnership with Yaskawa and our shared commitment to supporting communities when it matters most. We’re proud of our team’s quick response, collaboration, and dedication during such a challenging situation.
