Industrial Networking: GarrettCom Becomes a Belden Brand

Belden acquired Fremont, California-based GarrettCom,a provider of industrial networking solutions for specialty and stressed applications, in December 2010. St. Louis-based Belden Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets cable, connectivity, and networking products in markets including industrial automation.

"Making GarrettCom a Belden Brand further strengthens Belden's strategy of providing end-to-end connectivity from the sensor to the IT department," said Gary Wiegmann, President, Industrial Solutions Division, Belden Americas."With an integrated sales force, both GarrettCom and Belden sales channels will be able to provide broader and more integrated solutions to our customers."

As an associated product brand of Belden, GarrettCom becomes fully integrated into Belden's global organization with access to their industry-leading signal transmission portfolio. Becoming a Belden brand enhances GarrettCom's strong reputation with Belden's international recognition as a provider of premier quality solutions and support. GarrettCom's current and future customers benefit from access to Belden's global customer service and support to meet the growing demand of the competitive industrial networking market.

"As a Belden Brand, we can offer our customers access to the complete range of industrial networking, signal transmission and connectivity solutions Belden provides," said GarrettCom General Manager, Lee House. "With increased integration with Belden, we can also offer our customers even better quality, innovation, service and support."
