Katko, Grace Engineered Products now available from APS Industrial

Switch manufacturer Katko and electrical safety products manufacturer Grace Engineered Products have appointed APS Industrial as their national distribution partner in Australia.

Based in Iowa, USA, Grace Engineered Products is a leader in electrical safety product solutions that increase productivity and endeavour to exceed electrical workplace safety standards.

As part of this national distribution agreement, APS Industrial will bring to market a complete range of permanent electrical safety devices (PESDs), led by the GracePESDs range of voltage indicators and the GracePort range of communication ports.

“The Grace Engineered distribution agreement forms a very nice addition to our growing product portfolio and will particularly appeal to switchboard and control panel builders,” said David Hegarty, Managing Director of APS Industrial.

“In addition to local stockholdings we can also draw on the required technical expertise to support these ranges — it’s another exciting outcome that is designed to better serve local customers with highest levels of customer service and delivery.”

The agreement with Finnish company Katko came into effect on 1 July and further strengthens APS Industrial’s ability to service Australian industry with a range of industrial low- and medium-voltage electrical and automation products.

“Katko is a world leader in innovation committed to designing products and solutions tailored to a range of industry needs, and these are values that very much align with APS Industrial,” said Hegarty. “ Using these synergies as the foundation of our partnership, we are very excited by what we will together be able to provide Australian industry through this market-leading range of switches and switching solutions.”
