Branded cable and connector systems company Lapp has this month opened a new Australian operation.

 

The company, which makes branded cable and connector systems and integrated electrical and automation engineering solutions, has moved into its new 3100m2 headquarters at Eastern Creek, Sydney.

 

Lapp Australia said the new subsidiary would work to meet demand nationally for technologies used in future-focused areas of industry such as automation, robotics, energy management, data distribution and intelligent manufacturing; buildings, infrastructure and process engineering.

 

Lapp Australia general manager Simon Pullinger said the new facility would bring “new levels of service and choice to the Australian market, offering strong inventory of over 1000 product lines onshore as well as direct access to more than 40,000 standard items from Lapp’s global ranges”.
