Having surpassed its five-year milestone, and looking to continue steady expansion, cable and connector leader, LAPP Australia, is releasing a new catalogue to update the market on new locally-stocked products, and expanded supplier partnerships.
LAPP Australia is part of the LAPP Group, a leading global manufacturer of high quality German-manufactured cables, connectors and industrial connectivity solutions for a broad range of industrial applications.
In the new 5th edition catalogue, there are now more than 5,000 cables and associated cable accessory parts locally stocked for immediate despatch across Australia, in addition to 25,000 product lines delivered from Germany within two weeks.
“When LAPP established a full subsidiary in Australia in 2018, we found that market demand was strong for high quality cables, locally stocked, with proper after-sales service,” says LAPP Australia Managing Director, Simon Pullinger, who has been with the business since its establishment in Australia.
“At the time we had about 1,500 locally stocked lines, which was a great starting point, and one we planned to build on. We’re delighted to have expanded that to 5,000, and we’ll look to keep adding more locally stocked items to serve Australian industry,” he said.
Expanded supplier partnerships
In addition to expanding its locally stocked product ranges, LAPP Australia has sought strategic partnerships to supply products and services that have synergies with the company’s own. These partnerships – detailed in the new catalogue – include:
• Tosibox® – secure remote access solutions, including the new 200 series to provide a secure endpoint for any type of operational infrastructure
• WAGO – the leading specialist in spring clamp termination technology for Interconnection and Automation solutions, including new terminal blocks, electronic circuit breakers, and power supplies.
• PCE – CEE form plugs and sockets, including caravan plugs and the new midnight black events series
• CIMCO® – specialised industrial tools, including large ranges of top quality pliers, cutting tools, crimping tools, shears, tool cases, screw punches and more.
“These strategic partnerships with quality suppliers help us deliver complete solutions to customers across Australia, from industrial tools through to cybersecurity solutions – all with fast delivery options nation-wide,” said Pullinger.
New products for the Australian market
The 5th edition catalogue includes new products designed to meet demanding needs and harsh environments across Australia. These include:
• ÖLFLEX® cable range expansions, including EMC cables, halogen free cables, drag chain cables, and the new Solar XLR-E cable approved to the latest solar standards EN50618 and IEC62930
• UNITRONIC® cable range expansions, including flame-retardant data cables with UV-resistant sheath and highly flexible BUS cables with PUR outer sheath for drag chain applications.
• HITRONIC® optical transmission systems expansions, including armoured universal fibre cables with non-metallic strain relief, and SBX industrial spliced boxes.
• SILVYN® protective cable conduit systems expansions, including liquid-tight conduits with thick PVC jacket and parallel corrugated divisible conduits.
“All LAPP’s products undergo rigorous testing to comply with European, US, UK, and global standards, as well as any applicable Australian standards, so the quality and reliability is built into every range,” says Pullinger.
“At a time when everyone’s feeling the pinch of supply chain challenges, we’re delighted to be expanding local supply and shortening waiting times to help keep Australian industry moving,” he said.
