One of the main objectives of the systems and solutions activities of Pepperl+Fuchs is to respond quickly to customers? requirements for automation solutions in hazardous areas. The acquisition of Walsall Ltd has moved Pepperl+Fuchs one step closer to achieving this goal.

Pepperl+Fuchs' established interface, Remote I/O, and Fieldbus components form the basis for customer-specific product solutions, from control cabinets to Fieldbus distribution stations. A solution engineering team will oversee the project throughout its duration, from the initial offer through engineering, assembly and customer acceptance test. Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH has acquired Walsall Ltd to extend its range of available solutions. The company develops and manufactures electromechanical products for use in hazardous areas. Their main products include enclosures for increased safety, intrinsic safety and flameproof protection classes with approvals for a wide range of electrical apparatus. Several products can be combined to create more complex system solutions. Enclosures are available in a wide variety of materials certified for use in hazardous areas. Walsall also manufactures lighting, signalling and emergency shutdown equipment as well as installation accessories for use in hazardous areas.

Being able to offer a wider selection of products enables Pepperl+Fuchs to offer comprehensive, customised solutions that more effectively meet the project requirements of their customers. The company is a leading developer and manufacturer of electronic sensors and components for the global automation market.
