Power-One and UR Holding have announced the signing of a European distribution agreement. The two companies will work together to promote selected products in the power conversion market, in specific European territories.

The partnership enhances and broadens UR’s impressive power products portfolio, whilst strengthening Power-One’s sales penetration into the European territories. A primary driver for the partnership is Power-One’s revolutionary Z-Series, which uniquely integrates power conversion, control and communications using the company’s proprietary Z-One® Digital Power Management Architecture.

Martin Kistner, COO of UR Holding commented: “UR is delighted to join forces with Power-One, particularly with the emergence of digital power in the marketplace. Power-One’s Z-Series ranges from hardware-configurable No-Busä Z-1000 POL converters to the I²C programmable Z-7000 Series, which means Z-One digital power can provide the advantages of integrated power management and conversion to any application.”

Bill Yeates, CEO of Power-One inc. commented: “Power-One is delighted to form an alliance with UR on a European basis. UR’s undoubted technical expertise in the power electronics sector coupled with Power-One’s dominance in Digital Power Management will prove to be an effective design-in partnership over coming years as the market matures”.
