Blanchard Machinery delivers expert services and lasting results for Spartanburg Regional Healthcare

When it comes to long-term relationships, Blanchard Machinery delivers expert Caterpillar Electric Power solutions and lasting results for clients across many different industries. One such longtime partner, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare, exemplifies the importance of Blanchard’s dedication to reliability and dependability.

Spartanburg Regional Healthcare is an integrated healthcare delivery system, providing comprehensive care from birth through senior years. Caring for the Upstate community for more than 90 years, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare has earned a reputation for technological excellence.

Blanchard Power Systems is Spartanburg Regional’s trusted partner for all of their backup power needs. “Spartanburg Regional Healthcare has been working with Blanchard Machinery for over 20 years—a longtime customer of our generator sales and service departments,” says Andrew Maddox, Electric Power Sales Representative at Blanchard Machinery.

“Knowing that the hospital is going to get outstanding, long-term service from Blanchard makes buying Caterpillar generators an easy choice,” explains Doug Brock at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare.

Blanchard recently delivered five Caterpillar C27 800 kilowatt generators to Spartanburg Regional to provide emergency standby power for the main hospital. The five Caterpillar generators work in parallel, protecting the hospital against power outages with 4 megawatts of total power.

Blanchard’s high level of service and attention to detail never wavered, according to Doug Brock. “Simply put, Blanchard employs the best generator technicians in the state. If you have a problem with your machinery, a Blanchard technician is going to be there promptly—at any time, day or night—to resolve the issue. Over the years, we have received top-notch maintenance and repair services from the entire Blanchard team.”

According to Andrew Maddox, supplying Spartanburg Regional with Caterpillar generators has solidified Blanchard’s relationship with the hospital for years to come. “I’m thankful to have been a part of the project,” he says, “from early negotiations nearly two years ago through the recent installation and final commissioning process.”

Doug Brock easily sums up the Blanchard-Spartanburg Regional relationship, saying “Caterpillar builds the best generators in the industry, while Blanchard provides the best service. Combine that with the fact our generators were manufactured in South Carolina, and it’s a win-win for us.”
