JO-EL Electric Limited merges with Schneider Electric UK
2006 sees significant changes for JO-EL Electric. For the last 6 years, JO-EL has operated autonomously within Schneider Electric. However, in this fast-paced market, organisations need to be leaner and more dynamic, shifting with the ever-changing trends of the market.
With this in mind, JO-EL and Schneider have conducted a review of the JO-EL business with the aim of consolidating and capitalising on any synergies with Schneider. It has been concluded that merging the JO-EL business into the Schneider operation will be the most effective means of building firm foundations for future business.
During the 2nd Quarter of 2006, JO-EL relocated to the Schneider Head Office in Telford, Shropshire.
The Thorsman and Jo-Jo brands are an ideal fit to integrate with Schneider Electric. By combining Schneider's Square D consumer units and Clipsal accessories with the Fixings and Electrical products from Thorsman and JoJo, the distributor can now benefit from a comprehensive offer from a single source.
Also, the Schneider award-winning Telford logistics centre of excellence is recognised as the clear market leader in terms of on time delivery.
Schneider Electric will maintain a separate sales force, sales office and distributor policy for JO-EL. We would however like to take the opportunity to detail below the future benefits to you from this change.
- A high level of on-time delivery performance
- The ability to consolidate orders
- A greater range of products delivered from one centre
- Access to e-trading facilities through our My Schneider Electric portal
- Increased levels of support from the larger team at Telford
