As a channel partner, Singer will also be a certified service provider for ABB’s single and three-phase UPS products, and solar inverters.

The partnership demonstrates the power of collaboration and how it can support the market and customers, ABB New Zealand managing director Ewan Morris says.

“ABB’s partnership with Singer demonstrates a winning combination of extensive product portfolio and technical expertise, and detailed knowledge of industries and applications, project experience, and local market presence.”
Through the partnership, ABB aims to simplify customers’ access to an extensive range of electrification products, including low and medium-voltage products, solar inverters, UPS and power conditioning products and EV charging infrastructure.

“Together we are stronger by being able to offer turnkey electrical solutions unmatched in the New Zealand market,” Singer Group managing director Jeff McLaren says.
