LAPP Australia has partnered with Wieland Electric, expanding its range of electrical automation technologies, including multiple products in the functional safety category.

Wieland is a German-based global leader operating in more than 70 countries and supporting industries including building technology, engineering, wind power, EV charging, horticulture and lighting.

“The partnership with Wieland is a natural fit for LAPP Australia as we continue to expand our industrial IT, automation, networking and electrical interconnection ranges,” LAPP Australia managing director Simon Pullinger says.

LAPP Australia will sell more than 28,000 Wieland product lines with 1,000 to be stocked locally in Australia and the others to be air freighted from Germany in one to three weeks, depending on the product and destination.

Wieland is known for its leadership in functional safety products, where it has built up a global pedigree for reliability and performance.

E-stops, safety magnets and light curtains, left, safety relays, right, are just a few examples of Wieland’s extensive product ranges in functional safety technology to enable the safe operation of machines and reduce the risk of equipment causing harm to people or property due to malfunction or incorrect operation.
