In line with ABB’s continuing focus on customers, its Electrification business (EL) signed a third-party channel agreement with Engineering Computer Services (ECS) to provide low-voltage products for the OEM market in New Zealand.
Established in 1983, ECS is a New Zealand based family owned business spanning two generations, which has evolved from being a manufacturing company to a leading supplier of electrical and automation products. Starting out more than 30 years ago with the design and manufacture of automated equipment for the dairy and construction industries, ECS has built a reputation for outstanding service and product delivery associated with some of the world’s leading manufacturers. Its sales team consists of electricians and automation engineers, which means they offer knowledge and expert assistance to ensure the customer gets the best solutions to solve their problems.
“Our partnership with ABB is a perfect fit with our company philosophy of offering highest quality and latest product innovations. This new cooperation will strongly complement our current offering of market leading brands,” said Terry Rayner Managing Director of ECS.
ECS will offer products from ABB’s low-voltage portfolio primarily around the industrial control space consisting of contactors, overloads, miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) and safety equipment to OEMS; as well as industrial end users via their customer base and online platforms.
“The partnership highlights the power of collaboration in providing strong support for the market and ABB’s customers,” said Chris Thomas, Local Sales and Marketing Manager for EL in New Zealand. “ABB’s partnership with ECS demonstrates a winning combination of extensive product portfolio and technical expertise, providing detailed knowledge of industries and applications, and local market presence.”
Through the channel partnership, ABB aims to broaden customers’ access to the extensive range of EL products. The distributor channels are very important to ABB and having ECS as a strategic channel partner with local market knowledge will help provide insights into market trends and customer demands for our products in New Zealand.
