As the first tangible result of the new arrangement, Hammond will distribute Ritec products in North America and Europe, while Ritec Enclosures, which has a strong presence throughout the Far East and China, will become a key distributor for the Hammond product range in the region.
Ritec’s products have an excellent fit with Hammond’s own manufactured product portfolio, offering different size options and value for money price positioning across the spectrum of metal and plastic enclosures manufactured by both companies. In total, the already extensive Hammond range is increased by more than 250 individual line items. The Ritec products will be marketed as the flagship of Hammond’s MOREnclosures range, a selection of enclosures sourced from manufacturers worldwide.
The Ritec family includes hand-held and instrument enclosures moulded in ABS and polycarbonate for use as instrument housings, switch enclosures, medical equipment, communications equipment, control devices and similar applications. Available with a choice of plain, transparent, flanged or recessed lids, IP54 or IP65 sealing and plastic, IR or metal end panels, the numerous options enable the needs of the great majority of applications to be met by a standard product variant. Time to market and non-recurring engineering charges are minimised.
