We’re expanding to Ireland – a new office and new opportunities

by

We are always looking for new opportunities to provide maximum value and the very best experience to our customers in Europe and the UK. With this in mind, we’ve expanded into the Irish market and have set up an office in Ireland. We know that Ireland is such a key territory in the European cable accessory market. This expansion will give us direct access to better serve our customers in the EU. 

ETS first supplied cable accessories in 1988 ago and it became clear that there is strong demand in developing areas in Europe. Since then, we distribute many products to Europe and support a wide range of businesses in Ireland and the continent. Ireland is the ideal place to expand our reach in Europe and better serve our customers due a strong market and great links to the mainland. We’re excited to be able to continue our very high levels of service to our European customers. 

The move is the latest in a long line of expansion projects since ETS was set up. Here is a timeline of our expansion throughout the UK and Europe:

  • Incorporated in 1988 in Porstmouth England.
  • Opened up a London branch in 1991 
  • Seven years later we moved to our purpose-built premises in Tolworth
  • In 2009 we opened our Midlands office in Lichfield
  • Our Midlands office later moved in 2014 to Rugeley
  • Opened up our first European office in Ireland 

If you’re based in Europe or Ireland and are looking for a reliable cable component supplier, get in touch with us today.

Visit ETS at DataCentres Ireland 2017

Come and visit ETS Cable Components at DataCentres Ireland 2017

This exhibition and conference takes place at RDS, Dublin and is now in its 6th year. ETS are delighted to be exhibiting here, particularly as Ireland is such a key territory in the European data centre market.

ETS first supplied a data centre project 20 years ago and it became clear that the product range and service levels, together with the company’s technical ability to propose solutions, was a match for this fast developing market. ETS have since supplied power cable accessories on many of the new data centre facilities constructed all over Europe. The approach has always been the same, which has meant getting involved during the early electrical design stage, where ETS has then proposed a range of suitable products for the installation, termination and identification of all power cables supplied into the building. Projects are supplied on a fast-track basis with products shipped anywhere in the world from the ETS main distribution warehouse based in Greater London, close to Heathrow Airport and Channel Tunnel rail link.

Join us on 22nd-23rd November 2017 at the DataCentres Ireland, stand 430 where we will be on hand to discuss your power cable accessory requirements, so come along and enjoy the exhibition!
