IPD to distribute ABB electrification products

IPD announced it has been appointed ABB’s distributor of electrification products for the 415 V switchboard manufacturer channel, effective from July 2019. The company will also provide ABB low-voltage power distribution solutions to major electrical contractors. All other channels will continue to be serviced directly by ABB.

“ABB designs, manufactures and supports some of the best electrical switchgear and control equipment available, with core strengths in medium to large end-to-end electrical solutions,” said IPD CEO Michael Sainsbury.

According to Sainsbury, IPD’s partnership with ABB will help strengthen its offering for low-voltage power distribution and motor control solutions.

“IPD has been a long-term supplier of GE Industrial Solution products and with ABB’s acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions in 2017, IPD can offer an expanded product offering and support ABB’s customer base.”

ABB and IPD will be contacting all ABB 415 V switchgear customers to discuss future steps. IPD will continue to stock and support the GE product portfolio.
