Canford has acquired the 19-inch rack brand Enclosure Systems (ES), based in Borough Green, Kent. Canford will develop the core ranges and maintain continuity with existing ES customers and markets. Chas Luchford, ES’s sales manager, is moving over to join Canford. “Chas Luchford brings with him all the experiences, personal contacts and relationships, so apart from the heading on the invoice, nothing changes,” said Iain Elliott, Canford’s founder and director. “Continuity is key, and the product range and pricing is unchanged.” “Our experience in frequently shipping to over 120 countries and our worldwide network of dealers and distributors makes me very confident for the future of Enclosure Systems,” said Canford’s Chief Executive, Leif Friestad (pictured). “We had been looking to enhance our 19-inch rack product offering for some time, and when the ES product range became available it was the obvious solution.” The ES range includes the 262 series of full size 19-inch rack cabinets and products such as the 501 Credenza open rack series. Canford will also continue to offer ES wall-mounted rack cabinets including the 401, 404 and 408 series. The floor standing cabinets are available in multiple widths and depths with heights of up to 47U. A range of accessories including plinths, feet, trays, power distribution and fans is available for the range. www.canford.co.uk
