AMETEK Programmable Power has appointed Transcat as its exclusive distributor, certified calibration partner, and rental provider for its programmable power and test systems portfolio across the US and South America.
AMETEK says the agreement is intended to improve product availability and delivery speed, while expanding integrated service support for regulated, test-intensive markets including automotive.
Under the agreement, Transcat will distribute AMETEK Programmable Power’s precision AC and DC power supplies, electronic loads, power subsystems, and compliance test solutions. The portfolio is sold under the Sorensen, Elgar, and California Instruments brands. Transcat will also support modular instrumentation and data acquisition systems offered through VTI Instruments.
AMETEK says Transcat will serve as its exclusive calibration partner in addition to AMETEK Programmable Power’s existing calibration services. AMETEK describes this as an option intended to provide short lead times and established service performance for customers needing calibration and compliance support for precision power and test equipment.
“Partnering with Transcat strengthens our ability to deliver faster lead times, stocked inventory, and integrated calibration, rental, and distribution services,” said Sam Hughes, Vice President – Business Unit Manager for AMETEK Programmable Power. “By combining our comprehensive power and test portfolio with Transcat’s accredited calibration expertise and technical support, we’re providing customers with a cohesive, end‑to‑end solution that simplifies access to advanced technologies and ensures dependable compliance and lifecycle performance.”
AMETEK says the distribution and service expansion targets aerospace, automotive, semiconductor, industrial, data center, and renewable energy markets. Transcat notes the partnership also aligns with its strategy to use distribution to drive calibration service and rental growth for customers operating in complex, highly regulated environments.
