Electro Rent and EXFO ink European distribution pact

Electro Rent is expanding its strategic distribution agreement with EXFO into Europe.

This new agreement enhances the existing collaboration between EXFO, a supplier of test, monitoring and analytics to the communication industry, and Electro Rent by adding European distribution to an already robust rental and certified pre-owned (CPO) portfolio.

“At Electro Rent, 5G and data centres are areas of strategic focus. With that in mind, this new agreement with EXFO is a tremendous win for our customers. EXFO is a wonderful partner to work with, they address the heart of these strategic markets for us, and this distribution agreement allows us to better help our customers navigate stormy financial seas.” said Stijn Sallaerts, Vice President of Product Group at Electro Rent.

This new distribution agreement offers Electro Rent customers the convenience of selecting the acquisition method that best fits their requirements. Now, Electro Rent customers can acquire the EXFO equipment they need via purchase, lease, or rental. Rental, lease and pre-owned options help customers better preserve precious CapEX by providing the opportunity to gain access to needed instruments with OpEX funds.

Gavin Lessing-Caller, Senior Vice President Global Sales and Marketing at Electro Rent, said, “This new distribution agreement combines EXFO’s technical expertise and product breadth with Electro Rent’s speed, convenience, and fast shipping thanks to our two European warehouses and logistic hubs.”

Wim te Niet, Vice President EMEA at EXFO, said, “The expanded distribution agreement further strengthens the longstanding and successful collaboration with Electro Rent, and extends the reach of EXFO’s industry- leading solutions for data centre and mobile environments across the Europe regions.”

The signing of EXFO is the latest move in Electro Rent’s plans to strengthen its distribution business globally.
