Stadium Group Integrates OEM Businesses
READING, BERKSHIRE, UK -- Stadium Group has integrated its global power business, comprising the Stadium Power and Stontronics brands.
The company will form a single trading entity, Stadium Stontronics, offering customers access to a wider product range in standard, custom and semi-custom power supplies with an enhanced portfolio up to 10kW, dedicated sales and service provided from the Regional Fulfilment Centers in Reading, UK and Hong Kong, and engineering expertise provided through the Regional Design Centers in Norwich and Shanghai.
Enhanced services including kitting, labeling, PCB assembly and turnkey manufacturing will be provided from the Stadium Group sites in the UK and Asia.
Products from the integrated business are now available through the former Stontronics distribution network, which includes Electrocomponents (RS, Allied), Element 14 (Farnell, Newark, CPC) and Rapid Electronics.
In a press release, Martin Brabham, managing director for Stadium’s global power business, said: “The integration of the power business completes the next stage in our growth plan and supports the wider integrated technology model of the group where benefits are already being realized. Several Stadium Stontronics customers are now accessing Stadium’s design capabilities in wireless M2M communication and HMI and we expect this approach to continue to deliver strong benefits including shared knowledge, access to niche technology, economies of scale and synergies in design, manufacturing and fulfillment.”
Stadium had sales of GBP 53.9 million ($70 million) in 2015, about £27 million ($35.3 million) from EMS.
