When we established All Round Supplies over 20 years ago, TE Connectivity was one of the first suppliers to come on board with us. To this day they remain our most trusted and reliable connectivity partner.
Earl Palfrey, our group general manager, can’t speak highly enough of TE Connectivity:
“Over the past 15 years, TE Connectivity have provided ARS valuable support and knowledge in establishing our business as a leader in the supply of electrical infrastructure materials. In particular, the highly regarded Raychem and Utilux brands have led the way in providing a relationship that has benefited both organisations.”
It’s a partnership that has always worked extremely well as a two-way street. Both companies share similar values at their core. “As a manufacturer we constantly strive for product quality and excellence not only in our products, but in our partnerships with our distributors and channel partners who also reflect our common goal for quality and integrity,” says TE Connectivity ANZ General Manager Adam Duncan.
