Rittal Australia signs APS Industrial as distributor

Rittal Australia has announced a national distribution partnership with APS Industrial, a specialist electrical industrial and automation equipment distributor.

APS Industrial, a recently opened, locally owned and managed independent company, supplies products for automation, power distribution and switchgear, motor control, enclosures, connectivity, industrial communications and wiring. The new group has acquired Ramelec and HiTech — two well-established Australian distributors with an established national footprint.

“Our existing partnership with Ramelec is strengthened with APS’s high-profile, well respected and experienced leadership team,” said Rittal ANZ Managing Director Michael Mallia. “The synergies that existed between Rittal and Ramelec’s product ranges are further enhanced with the addition of the Siemens industrial automation product portfolio that APS brings — this new group is sure to become a major force in the Australian electrical landscape.“

APS Industrial is headquartered in Melbourne and has a national network of offices in Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane, supported by strategic local stockholdings and technical support.
