Legend Corporation has announced a partnership with ABB for its CABAC business to be the distributor of ABB’s conduit and fittings, cables ties and cable glands. It’s a portfolio which contains well-known brands such as Adaptaflex, Kopex-Ex, Ty-Rap, Ty-Fast and Deltec and Nicote.

The addition of ABB’s product range ensures Legend can continue to offer its customer network an even greater range of business-critical and specifiable products to suit various applications.

Speaking about the development, Legend chief executive Gary Uren says “ABB is a market leader and we are thrilled to partner with a global brand of this calibre to extend their reach and strengthen our capability for bringing innovative technologies to the market.

“This strategic partnership is designed to drive demand generation for Legend’s existing cable, gland and conduit offering, as well as to meet customer needs which are increasingly more specific as end-markets evolve.

“CABAC will now be able to offer customers the Adaptaflex product line, which is highly specifiable, and we have increased our relevance to markets beyond electrical, for example the IoT or the 5G telecommunication roll-out.

“The ABB partnership also means we now offer a range of explosion-proof cable glands – a product set that complements Legend’s other recent partnership with Emerson and its Appleton solution for explosive-proof protective equipment. These complementary partnerships and product sets means Legend is generating project demand to pull more opportunities through to the wholesaler.”

ABB head of electrification business David Sullivan says: “ABB is looking forward to a long-term partnership with CABAC, to help increase our reach into the local market with some of the industry’s most innovative solutions for conduit and fittings, cable ties and cable glands.”

The changes will be available from 1 May 2020.
