LAPP Australia partners with Wieland Electric

LAPP Australia has announced it is expanding its range of electrical automation technologies, including multiple products in the functional safety category, through a new partnership with Wieland Electric.

Wieland is a German manufacturer operating in more than 70 countries, supporting industries including building technology, engineering, wind power, EV charging, horticulture and lighting.

“The partnership with Wieland is a natural fit for LAPP Australia, as we continue to expand our industrial IT, automation, networking and electrical interconnection ranges,” said LAPP Australia Managing Director Simon Pullinger.

LAPP Australia will sell more than 28,000 Wieland product lines, with 1000 to be stocked locally in Australia and the others to be air freighted from Germany in 1–3 weeks, depending on the product and destination.

Wieland is known for its functional safety products, where it has built up a reputation for reliability and performance, according to Lapp.

“As industrial processes become more automated, with more complex machinery, there is an increased need to meet strict functional safety requirements. Wieland’s range includes electro-sensitive and mechanical safe sensors, compact relays and safety controllers to reliably support industrial clients in motion monitoring, analog signal processing, industrial press control and material flow,” Pullinger said.

“LAPP Australia has the in-house technical expertise to assist with specifying the right Wieland products for the job, as well as ongoing support to keep everything running smoothly and operating to optimum efficiency,” he added.
