Rittal strengthens by acquiring Kiesling

EPlan‘s parent company, Rittal International, has added to its expertise in the manufacture of switchgear and panel building by acquiring Kiesling (Machine Technology).

The three companies will form a unique global service network that will benefit customers along the entire manufacturing and production chain of enclosure and switchgear solutions - from concept development to installation.

Using EPlan‘s software based engineering solutions, the complete enclosure range from Rittal and automation solutions from Kiesling, Rittal International now possesses a completely integrated solution for the manufacture of switchgear and panel building.

With its forward thinking automation solutions, Kiesling brings a new innovation potential to the group. The company’s latest breakthrough is the ‘Averex’ robotic wiring system, which eliminates the time consuming manual wiring of mounting plates by providing automatically generated connections between components on the mounting plate.

The three companies’ solutions can integrate seamlessly, providing automation at every stage in the development process. Enclosure system constructors can configure a solution using data from the EPlan Data Portal, electrical circuit diagrams, fluid detail, and Rittal enclosure components stored in the Eplan platform or Eplan Engineering Centre.
