Anord Expands Switchgear Market Share in 2015

SANDSTON, VA--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2016) - Anord Critical Power, Inc., a leading independent provider of critical-power infrastructure to the global data center industry, today announced the company closed 2015 with 75 percent increased growth opportunities realized from new business in North America. Anord attributes its growth in part to its new 50,000 sq. ft. North America headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Sandston, Henrico County, Virginia.

According to Transparency Market Research the Global switchgear market is expected to reach $83.28 billion in 2020. In 2015, Anord has capitalized on this opportunity with its UL Listed Form 4b Type 7 switchgear offering. The switchgear quickly gained industry recognition and momentum as the preferred method to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment within mission-critical facilities. Since its U.S. launch in January 2014, the Form 4b Type 7 switchgear has:

• Achieved UL Listing
• Been recognized among the CRN 2015 Data Center 100 list of 20 Infrastructure Providers
• Received the 2014 infoTECH Spotlight Data Center Excellence Award

To support its 2015 growth, the company expanded its mechanical design, plant, sales and service support by adding 30 new employees, opening its western regional office at the San Francisco Civic Center and hiring Graham Carr as Western Regional Sales Manager and Matt Gouffon as Sales and Marketing Operations Manager.

Anord established new partnership agreements with eSite Systems, Wavetech Associates, Aerico Inc. and Critical Components Inc. as regional manufacturers' representatives. In addition, the company continued to share their industry thought leadership and showcase its unique switchgear offering at such notable events as: POWER-GEN International, 7x24 Exchange Fall and Spring Conferences, Electric Expo 2015, Datacenter Dynamics Converged, and Uptime Institute Symposium.

In 2016, Anord will announce a new line of critical power distribution products with unique and market identifying characteristics.

"Increasing demand for safety and protection in electrical distribution systems continues to drive the U.S. switchgear market," said John Day, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Anord Critical Power, Inc. "We are proud our offering has been so widely embraced to protect, regulate and control transmission and power distribution in mission-critical facilities. We look forward to serving the market with new and exciting innovations in 2016."
