Specialists for leading edge products in circuit protection, switching and distribution, F&G Installation Switchgear customers will now not only be able to source products more readily but will also benefit from the renowned infrastructure of Moeller Electric, one of the world's major players in the electrical sector.
This means increased support from a strong customer service team as well as faster and improved product supply from Moeller UK's warehousing and logistics operations in Aylesbury.
Hugo Lambourn, F&G Installation Switchgear's UK sales manager comments: "With the full weight of Moeller Electric's considerable resources behind the F&G brand we are very optimistic about the future.
Doubling the sales force, strengthening our distribution network, improving our service to customers will undoubtedly strengthen our presence in the UK market.
F&G is a very well-known name in mainland Europe, over the coming months, with Moeller Electric's backing, it will become equally well-known in the UK." Since its establishment 125 years ago F&G has developed many trend-setting devices, always focusing on safety aspects both for operators and equipment, as well as on quality.
The company has continued to build on this innovation, in particular its invention of the world's first commercial earth leakage circuit breaker (RCD) in the 1950s, and is still the world's leader in RCD technology and well reputed for the very highest product quality.
Moreover F&G has become one of Europe's largest manufacturers of miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) providing the only colour coded dolly switches to meet the European fuse standards.
