Rittal’s New Partnership with Cadence Automatisation Increases Distribution Strength

April 7, 2017

Rittal Systems Ltd. has added Cadence Automatisation to its distribution/partner network in Quebec, bringing additional strength to Rittal’s solution-focused selling philosophy.

Rittal’s flexible and adaptable products, such as TS8 Modular enclosures, Blue e+ (industries most energy efficient enclosure cooling units), and fully certified power distribution systems, provide the ability to create “custom from standard” solutions that can be delivered from stock.

“It is not often that you have an opportunity to add a partner that is offering true value add solutions and a superior level of technical support and service,” says Rittal President Tim Rourke (left in photo). “Rittal is extremely enthusiastic about the opportunities our combined energy can create.” Rittal manufactures enclosure systems, power distribution, climate control and IT Infrastructure.

Cadence Automatisation has been distributing and providing high quality, innovative solutions to customers for 20 years. According to Marc-Andre Laurin, General Manager of Cadence, “Cadence Automatisation is excited by the quality, knowledge and expertise that Rittal will bring to our automation portfolio, so we can continue meeting and exceeding our customers’ demands.” Additionally, “We are excited by the global support and service than Rittal can provide. Rittal is established in more than 70 countries, and with 13 manufacturing sites our export customers will benefit from years of experience in global customer service.”

Adds Laurin, “Rittal’s innovations and engineering services, when combined with key suppliers in our portfolio, will help us position ourselves as a reference in distribution for the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0.”
