Market Leading Manufacturer of Power Distribution Units
Olson Electronics are the market leading manufacturer of power distribution units.
We specialise in manufacturing to customer specification, to supply the right product for the right application.
A safe and reliable power supply is of the upmost importance in any environment, but especially when being used within environments such as schools and colleges. Our PDU’s have been fitted into various Educational establishments throughout the UK, from top universities through to schools, colleges and laboratories.
We supply many different PDU’s suitable for use within this sector, including a sloping unit which is extremely popular for use on work benches and in laboratories, and a retractable suspended unit which is ideal as a safety aspect where the power supply can be moved out of the way when not being used.
We understand the importance of providing a good quality power supply, which is safe and reliable to use. Our PDU’s are hand-made at our premises in the UK, using the highest quality components – they are quality checked at each stage of
manufacture and 100% electronically tested upon completion. As we have our own assembly, metal fabrication and paint spraying facilities we have direct control over the entire manufacturing process. All of our products are CE marked and are quality assured to ISO 9001:2015
We work very closely with our customers and have an unrivalled knowledge in providing their best power distribution solution
