any applications in harsh environments require labelling using metal markers. With
Weidmullers
newMetalliCard, you can now do all your customised labelling on our NEW
aluminium or stainless steel tags as well as the standard MultiCard plastic markers.This is an
extremely versatile solution for labelling using the same PrintjetPro Printer, software and ink.
The newmetal markers come in various sizes and can be used for equipment or cable marking.
Customers who already have the PrintjetPro printer fromWeidmuller can immediately start
colour printing on metal markers after installing the upgrade kit.The metal cards are designed
with mechanical specifications that meet or exceed harsh environmental conditions such as ad-
verse temperatures,
aggressive chemical
environments and
UV radiation from
direct sunlight. The
success of Printjet
marking for all your
electrical apparatus,
wi res and cables
has taken the next
big step with the in-
troduction of metal

lquip Solutions
placed the largest ever order for stock of ABB high efficiency low voltage
motors in South Africa. This strategic move provides the market with instant access to a
comprehensive range of products for every conceivable application.
“However, we are aware that the ability to afford clients in other centres an equal opportu-
nity to purchase these products is a critical factor in our marketing plan,” says Mike Cronin,
managing director of Elquip Solutions.
Elquip Solutions has spent the past fewmonths identifying and securing a growing network
of distributors throughout South Africa. “Our primary objective was to appoint companies
with a business philosophy that closely mirrors our own. In addition, they were required to
have a strong technological knowledge of ABB low voltage motors, accompanied by technical
capabilities and experience,” Cronin explains.
ABB offers a wide range of low voltage ac motors with improved energy efficiency and
lifecycle value. “ABB has long advocated the need for efficiency in motors, and high-efficiency
products have formed the core of its portfolio for many years.The resultant products are char-
acterised by savings in energy, reductions in operating costs, and enabling demanding motor
applications to perform reliably and without unscheduled downtime,” says Cronin.
“Since introducing this range of motors to Elquip Solutions’ product portfolio, the response
from the market has been exceptionally promising. As a result we have guaranteed our clients
that appropriate stock levels will be maintained within key national areas,” says Cronin. “As
new products are added to the ABB offering of high-efficiency low voltage motors, we will
ensure that we make them available to our client base.”
“We are currently researching further potential national distributors and we would welcome
enquiries from established companies with the requisite resources, capabilities and experience,
in relevant geographical locations. It is our stated intention to provide the widest possible
coverage for the ABB high-efficiency low voltage motors,” Cronin concludes.
