21st July 2010

 

Data and Power Solutions, leading manufacturer of power distribution and environmental monitoring solutions, is delighted to announce the formation of an exciting new partnership with US firm Geist Manufacturing.

 

The Nebraska-based enterprise has taken a 50% per cent stake in Data and Power Solutions, as part of their commitment to support global customers with local vertically integrated supply.

 

DPS managing director Theo Spittel, who will be responsible for the day-to-day control of the partnership, said: "This is an ideal alliance. Both companies have a reputation for providing reliable custom-built power and monitoring solutions, fast turnaround production and personalised customer service.

 

"By partnering two vertically integrated businesses operating in the same industry, but in different geographical markets we can share R & D, production methods and sales channels to provide a highly competitive, quality-supported service to all our customers."

 

Gordon Hutchison, International Business Development Director at Geist Manufacturing said of the new DPS partnership: "We wanted to become part of an established enterprise that would allow us to operate as seamlessly in Europe as we do now in the USA and the Pacific Rim. We believe we’ve found the perfect opportunity at Data and Power Solutions and are delighted to become their partner."
