Eaton has announced a long-term distribution partnership with industrial electrical distributor Colterlec that will increase national availability of its electrical distribution and motor control component range.

Eaton general manager power distribution ANZ Dan Agnew says the new partnership represents a strong commitment from both organisations to support the industrial sector with electrical products that provide safety, reliability and efficiency.

“This partnership will allow Eaton to expand nationally through Colterlec’s locations and warehouses across Australia, while leveraging its strong relationships and technical capabilities across many industries including manufacturing and mining,” says Dan.

Coltertec managing director Grant Turner says the new partnership will strengthen its market position throughout Australia and provide new growth opportunities.

“Eaton’s product offering is world class and we look forward to working closely with the local team to deliver ongoing value to our customers, particularly electrical panel builders that require low voltage switchgear for upgrades and new builds,” Grant says.

Colterlec has operations and warehouse facilities in Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne.
