Partnership has been formed to boost distribution network for leading manufacturers
Farnell and Patlite Europe have entered into a strategic partnership to provide customers with increased access to the manufacturer’s product portfolio across the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region.
Patlite has been making ‘state-of-the-art’ equipment for the process and industrial automation industries since 1947. The company boasts innovative and durable products with a strong commitment to safety and security. The partnership allows Patlite to use Farnell’s resources in the distribution market, allowing for faster delivery times for customers and enhanced customer support.
Calum O’Connell, Patlite country manager for UK & Ireland, said, “The benefits that both Farnell and PATLITE Europe will gain from this partnership, such as Farnell’s extended visualisation-related devices product portfolio and the opportunity for PATLITE Europe to increase market share, represent significant advantages that will eventually accrue to our respective customers.”
Patlite began with its single micromotor and has since expanded its technology product line, keeping a focus on industry needs and trends. The company has developed a series of products ranging from wireless data-acquisition systems, programmable signal towers, IO-Link, and POE-enabler devices as the wider industry transitions from simple signalling needs to smart, network-capable devices.
Sarah Priebe, global product segment leader for sensors at Farnell, said “This strategic collaboration is exciting for Farnell. Our customers are able to access advanced visualisation-related devices and IoT products as we expand our offering, which will enable further innovation, and provides PATLITE access to our global distribution network.”
