NHP and Alstom Grid sign official distribution deal

While NHP and Alstom Grid commenced a supply partnership at the end of 2013, the official signing of the distribution agreement only recently took place at NHP’s head office in Melbourne.

The two companies joined forces to jointly supply the Pacific region with substation automation products and systems.

Alstom Grid has supplied industry companies in Australia and New Zealand for over 100 years, and it was thought the uniting of NHP’s local presence and integration capability would prove a good service offering to customers.

The strength of the partnership over the last 18 months prompted the official signing of the agreement between the two companies.

“The distribution agreement signing has, in a sense, marked the marriage of Alstom and NHP’s already strong partnership in substation automation solutions since 2013. It is an exciting milestone and we’re looking forward to the greater opportunities this will bring both companies,” said NHP Projects & Service Manager Vince Grillinzoni.

Alvin Chin, EAP regional managing director for Alstom Grid, said he was also looking forward to the opportunities the partnership will provide their customers.

“NHP is a local leader of medium-voltage and low-voltage equipment in the Pacific region,” said Chin.

“Alstom Grid is one of the global leaders in the domain of substation automation technology. The partnership will allow both companies to combine skills and know-how to bring our customers an enhanced offering.

“The innovative solutions will also allow generation of new business opportunities for NHP and Alstom Grid,” he added.
