Camden Electronics Completes Acquisition Of Boss Enclosures
Camden Electronics, the UK’s leading supplier of PCB terminal blocks and DIN rail enclosures, has acquired Boss Enclosures Ltd, the Suffolk-based manufacturer and distributor of plastic and metal enclosures, 19in racks and cabinets, uniting two exceptionally strong brand names in the electronics, electrical and telecommunications industries.
Camden’s owner, Nicola Kay, commented, “We are very excited with the acquisition of Boss Enclosures as it adds a huge range of high quality enclosure products to complement our existing range of DIN rail housings and offers synergy for customers of both companies with enormous opportunities to access a wide range of related interconnection products from the Camden range and new enclosure solutions from the Boss portfolio.”
“In what are uniquely difficult times for the technology sector, we believe this acquisition makes perfect sense as it will enable Boss Enclosures to access Camden’s well-established worldwide distribution network,” Kay continued. “Camden-Boss will be able to deliver a wide range of high value-added solutions for electrical, electronics and telecommunications designers with a comprehensive range of products encompassing standard and custom designed enclosures from potting boxes to the latest Acoustirack 19in cabinets for noiseless server operations.”
Carsten Pistor, Boss Enclosures’ former CEO, commented, “We are delighted to join Camden’s organisation and look forward to developing both our product and customer base jointly going forward. Whilst the Camden and BOSS product ranges are entirely complementary, the companies have been operating in virtually the same market sectors for many years, thus providing a vast amount of synergies that can be exploited. A further key motivator behind the deal is Camden’s long-term strategy which is entirely in line with ours.”
Camden Electronics Ltd., based in the UK and China, provides innovative product solutions encompassing PCB terminal blocks, DIN rail enclosures, interface modules, valve regulated lead acid batteries, fuses & fuseholders, LEDs, miniature switches, IC & PLCC sockets and relay bases for the electronics, telecommunications, lighting and electrical industries. The company is BS EN ISO 9001:2000 accredited with many products holding international approvals including VDE, UL, CSA, SEMKO, NEMKO, DEMKO, IMQ etc. Camden holds 25% of the UK market for its PCB connector products and exports more than 30% of its production to Europe, the Far East and the USA. Camden offers competitive pricing and has a single minded focus on customer service. Advanced management systems such as KanBan ensure high stock availability especially for planned call offs.
Boss Enclosures Ltd. is a leading provider of electronic packaging as it designs and manufactures enclosures for the entire spectrum of the industry’s electronics devices, from remote control keyfobs to floor standing 19in cabinets. Over 3000 different plastic and metal enclosure combinations can be selected from the standard catalogue and if none of these are a perfect fit, custom designs or standard product customisation is quickly achievable as manufacturing capabilities cover the entire spectrum of metal and plastics engineering, backed by a team of in-house industrial designers and design engineers. Boss has built a successful UK based business through being an interactive local partner rather than a distant commodity supplier. Boss Enclosures’ future path is based on the investment in and globalisation of this working model together with Camden Electronics under the Camden-Boss name.
