Also : New Partnership of ALSO with Rittal

Starting in January 2017, ALSO is including the products of the manufacturer Rittal in its range, thereby expanding its capabilities in the field of 'Data Centres'.

At the start of the new year ALSO is introducing the products of Rittal, the German system provider for enclosures and switch cabinet systems, and thus bridging a gap in its product portfolio.

Since the year of its founding in 1961, Rittal has steadily grown to become one of the world's leading system providers for switching cabinets, electrical distribution, air conditioning, IT infrastructure and software and services. Today the manufacturer offers an ideally fine-tuned system platform 'Rittal - the System', combining innovative products with forward-looking engineering solutions and services, for a wide range of sectors, from mechanical and plant engineering to information technology.

'A new business field has opened up for our (ICT) resellers, since they can expand their services to data centre infrastructure and floor distributor solutions. For ALSO, this signifies the methodical expansion of the service portfolio as a comprehensive provider of business solutions. With Rittal, our range now includes all the needed infrastructure products, so we can supply our clients the ICT for entire buildings from one source', says Erich Steiner, Head of Division Solutions and member of the board of ALSO Schweiz AG.

The market leader based in Emmen will be the only ICT logistics specialist to distribute the German manufacturer's products on the Swiss market.

'Our point of focus in the Swiss market is the effective handling of new business opportunities. ALSO enjoys an excellent reputation and image as well as the market expertise and strategy required to ensure that the products and solutions of Rittal are ideally positioned', says Andrew Grace, Director of Channel Management at Rittal.
