This article has been supplied.
Schneider Electric South Africa, a global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has officially announced its partnership with ARB Electrical Wholesalers, one of the country’s foremost distributors of cables, electrical, lighting, and renewable energy solutions. The partnership sees ARB joining Schneider Electric’s prestigious Distribution Hub and Pro Retailer Programme – a programme designed to significantly improve the accessibility and convenience for our customers to procure an extensive range of electrical products and solutions.
Headquartered in Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal, ARB Electrical Wholesalers boasts a national footprint of 23 branches across all nine provinces, supported by over 700 skilled professionals. With a robust e-commerce platform and deep technical expertise, ARB is well-positioned to provide end-to-end electrical solutions across Southern Africa.
“This is a very important partnership for Schneider Electric as it gives us coverage and availability in a bigger market through ARB’s twenty-three branches nationwide,” says Devan Pillay, Cluster President: Anglophone Africa, Schneider Electric. “We are excited about this prospect and to be associated with such an established name in the distribution of leading brands in the electrical space.”
As an official partner in the Distribution Hub and Pro Retailer Programme, ARB will offer Schneider Electric’s complete product portfolio, catering to service wholesalers, resellers, panel builders, and system integrators.
“What makes this a great fit for Schneider Electric South Africa is that ARB’s distribution and logistics capabilities are complementary to our new hub model,” adds Pillay. “They have a state-of-the-art 40,000m² distribution facility near Midrand, which gives them the full capability to service electrical distribution and project requirements of all scopes and sizes — not just across South Africa, but across the globe. They also have a fleet of one hundred and eighty-three vehicles supporting their national reach.”
“Partnering with Schneider Electric marks a significant milestone in ARB’s journey,” says Blayne Burke, Group CEO of ARB Holdings. “This collaboration not only enhances the range of world-class solutions we can offer our customers but also aligns with our strategic vision to drive innovation and sustainability through best-in-class products and supply chain excellence.”
Founded in 1980, ARB Electrical Wholesalers has grown from humble beginnings — operating out of a shipping container — into one of Southern Africa’s largest Black-empowered electrical wholesalers.
For over 45 years, ARB has delivered exceptional service and high-quality products that power homes, light up streets, and energize industries across South Africa.
