Why did MPS and S&C enter into an agreement?
• Fuse cutouts are part of the basket of products called “components” that are purchased by utilities (versus other larger dollar items like apparatus, poles or conductors). • MPS sells many complementary distribution components to the utility market and the product line was a better fit for MPS channel. • S&C’s market basket tends toward higher technology, “smart” devices. • This agreement allows both companies to provide better service to the market.
