congatec expands French sales partner network

Carlos Cabanita, CEO of APLUS Système Automation explains: "We are very pleased that our line card now includes the leading European Computer-on-Module vendor congatec. Computer-on-Module designs are significantly more efficient than full-custom designs, shaving off between 50 per cent and 90 per cent development time and NRE cost. These benefits can now be passed on in full to our customers."

Michael Klett, Manager Sales Partners EMEA, congatec says: "Customers with unique system layout requirements need more individual support than customers using motherboards or slot single board computers where no application-specific carrier board is needed. So we are immensely pleased to be able to significantly strengthen our French sales and consulting footprint with APLUS Système Automation."

APLUS Système Automation, which has been active in the market since 1988, is particularly strong in the industrial, embedded, security and defence industries as well as in the areas of digital media and point-of-sale products. The company supports its customers from component selection to finished product, and accompanies them from the development of initial design studies through production, technical documentation and certification to the installation and maintenance of the systems on site.

The new distribution partnership complements existing distribution partnerships and will effectively relieve congatec's French sales offices, allowing the team around Luc Beugin in Paris and Stephane Mailleau in Toulouse to focus on acquiring and supporting large key accounts along with sales partner support.
