/> APW Electronics srl has been trading since 1946. In 1988, the business was acquired by Vero Electronics, a worldwide leader in rack and subrack solutions, and in 1998 it was incorporated by APW Inc. In March 2007 after APW ceased trading APW Electronics srl was acquired by Goma Elettronica SpA, and now the company offers a comprehensive range racks and cabinets integrated with industrial PCs, workstations, subracks for VMEbus and CompactPCI applications, as well as a wide range of accessories. APW’s 7,000m² plant near Turin houses all manufacturing processes on site, from the processing of raw materials to the creation of integrated cabinets.

Surtech has been distributing enclosure products since its formation in 1983. Currently the company is committed to holding £200 000 of the 19in Imrak 1400 enclosure in stock at any time, and offers a full assembly and configuration service from its Andover base.

Comments Mike Johnson, Surtech’s sales and marketing director: “We focus on delivering what the customer requires. That means being able to configure a rack to exact specifications every time and delivering the product on time. To do this we have invested in stock, facilities, experienced people and transport. We are delighted that our efforts have led us to becoming APW’s leading distributor.”

Replied Massimo D’Accardi, APW's Managing Director in Italy: “OEMs and other users are looking for cabinets that are modern and flexible, with the highest quality standards and a wide selection of options. Our products are supported by selected partner distributors across Europe, each one of which is a leading company in its geographical area. The support we receive from distributors such as Surtech set us apart from our competitors, making our APW the supplier of choice for standard and customised enclosure solutions for customers worldwide.
