Rockwell Automation to be distributed by NHP and Inaco

Rockwell Automation has formed new distributor relationships with Inaco Automation Controls and NHP Electrical Engineering Products to assume distribution roles for Rockwell Automation products in Australia and New Zealand, effective from 7 November 2008; with primary roles as of 1 July 2009. Until 1 July, customers may still choose to order from their current distributor.

Inaco will shift its focus to customers within the Sydney, greater NSW and southern Queensland regions, while NHP will service customers throughout the rest of Australia and New Zealand.

NHP will continue to market its current complementary products, which includes the Sprecher + Schuh range, but will now add the Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Software brands to its extensive offering within its allocated geographic area. This will provide customers with a one-stop shop for all their industrial switchgear and automation requirements.

These new relationships intend to service the Australia and New Zealand markets with the latest in technology from around the world, backed by local technical support supply chain management and application solution synergies between key market participants in industrial automation power, control and information solutions.
