“STRATEGIC OUTSOURCING
SPECIALIST”

is the latest in a series of new supplier
partnerships struck by WAGO.

As one of the global leaders in electrical
control systems, cable harnesses and
sub-contract manufacturing solutions,
PP Control & Automation serves
building services, food and beverage,
medical, energy, security, semiconductor
manufacturing, printing and others.
Customers are increasingly demanding
more complex machines with shorter lead
times. “Production capacity of particular
machine configurations often has to be
ramped up and ramped down at short
notice. For this reason, the company
needs suppliers that it can trust to provide
reliable components to specification in
a short space of time,” says Tony Hague,
managing director of PP Control &
Automation.
WAGO, whose interconnection and
automation products provide the
backbone for critical applications are
supplying DIN rail-mounted terminal
blocks, power supplies, electronic circuit
breakers, and automation controllers and
modules.
“Customers require a higher degree of
configuration than ever before,” continues
Hague, “And it’s up to us to provide
exactly what they need. Things can move
quickly in industry, and the increasing
need for agility means that good product
design and effective specification at
component level are critical. Even the
highest standards of workmanship can’t
save you from inferior components, which
is why partnerships with suppliers like
WAGO are so important to us.
“In every case PP Control & Automation
recommends and makes use of CAGE
CLAMP® technology and the security
of connection that it provides. We have
already, on a number of occasions,
replaced more traditional screw clamp
connections with CAGE CLAMP, and our
customers have seen an immediate and
significant improvement in connection
reliability.”
Tony Hoyle, managing director, WAGO
Limited, adds; “We are always pleased to
know that industry-leading OEMs such as
PP Control & Automation choose WAGO
products, and it demonstrates the high
regard in which we are held within the
market. A major benefit for us is that
customers who may not ordinarily have
specified WAGO get to see just what our
products are capable of.”
