APW and Wadsworth celebrate 12 years of supply partnership
Released 29 October 2004

The supply partnership between APW and Wadsworth, the specialist distributor of networking products, has been built up since 1992, when just three sizes of IMRAK, the market leading networking rack, were included for the first time.  The relationship has prospered and deepened over the years, and Wadsworth now stock and supply the IMnet, IMserv and IMRAK floor-standing cabinets, the IMnet 310 and 410 wall mounted enclosures and a full range of accessory items for each family.

The latest catalogue from Wadsworth contains, with a few minor exceptions, every size and style of standard product from APW Enclosure Solutions.  Cyberview, APW's range of 19" rack-mount LCD screens, keyboard and KVM switches, is a recent addition to the catalogue, as is APW's unique range of standard high power 32A Power Distribution Units.  

  Richard Leyland, Wadsworth Product Marketing Manager, and Russell Irvine, Distribution Channel Manager for APW, work closely together to drive the business forward, not only for standard products but also for application-specific requirements.  Recently, Wadsworth and APW prepared joint proposals to the customer to enable Wadsworth to win a contract for a major new co-lo centre using APW's IMserv server housings, IMnet cabling enclosures and raft floor tile replacements.
