In a meeting held at the head office of Ziehl-ebm SA, a distributorship agreement was signed, officially confirming iS Electronics as a distributor of Ziehl-ebm SA, thus ending many years of market speculation. iS Electronics has been marketing the Ziehl-ebm products, since its birth date in August 1994.
This move is seen by both companies' management teams, as a positive move to the growing need for knowledgeable sales people. The iS Electronics sales team has 38 years combined experience in project advice, design and supply of cooling products such as fans, airconditioners and heat-exchangers.
Concluding the distributorship agreement are (from l to r): Andreas Fischer, MD Ziehl-ebm SA; Brett Egerton, Sales Director iS Electronics, and Ingrid van Veen, Sales Representative Ziehl-ebm
The comprehensive product range being marketed by iS Electronics is:
* Afrac Enclosures: 19" cabinets, wall boxes, fibre-optic trays, brush panels.

Due to the rapid growth the company is currently enjoying, it says it is pleased to announce that Gerhard Shacks has returned to its team. An original founder of iS Electronics, the appointment came about to draw on the considerable market and product knowledge that Shacks has gathered over the last 15 years. His primary task will be to concentrate on and sustain the rapid expansion of the company's core products.
