BANGKOK, Apr 26, 2019 - (ACN Newswire) - CPT Drives & Power PCL (SET: CPT), a provider of industrial power and control systems, has been approved a contract partner by Siemens, the leading global engineering firm, for the production of power distribution panels and as a value-added reseller of SIEMENS equipment - enabling CPT to tap demand across various industries and infrastructure projects in Thailand. CPT expects to begin commercial operations in Q4/2019.

Siemens will transfer engineering know-how for the production of world-class standard power distribution panels and assist CPT in enhancing its capacity to serve businesses in virtually all industries that require reliable electrical power systems and advanced power distribution panels, which accounts for more than an 80% share of the distribution panel market.

Following the partnership deal, CPT will immediately send staff to begin receiving overseas training which will make them fully capable of performing their roles in the production of first-rate power distribution panels. CPT will follow with developed prototypes, hoping to achieve commercial operation in the fourth quarter.

Mrs Suwannee Singluedej, Senior Vice President and Head of Siemens Smart Infrastructure, said "Siemens is aware of the importance of having a local partner who can increase capacity and efficiently employ SIEMENS technologies in upgrading Thai industrial firms' production environment. Seimens decision to ally with CPT will allow it to grow its presence in Thailand's power distribution panel market rapidly. We are ready to provide necessary support for enhancing CPT's production capacity through training and technology transfers, and hope to pursue additional projects with CPT in future."

With the ongoing public investment and foreign businesses relocating their manufacturing bases, Thailand is a strong market with high growth potential presenting long-term growth opportunities for both Siemens and CPT."
