GUELPH, ON (May 30, 2014) – Hammond Power Solutions (HPS) is pleased to announce they have now joined the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region of the Rockwell Automation® Encompass™ program.  HPS first became an Encompass member after joining the Americas region in 2011.

The Encompass program aligns Rockwell Automation with companies, such as HPS, whose products complement their product offering to provide customers the best solution to solve their application challenges.  This program is comprised into three regions:  Americas, Asia Pacific and EMEA.

HPS will support the EMEA region of the Encompass program through HPS Europe, based in Italy (Vicenza).

“HPS is excited to expand our product offering into the EMEA Encompass program as well as strengthen our relationship with Rockwell Automation.  Through this partnership, we’re able to provide customers with complete solutions to their application challenges that they won’t find anywhere else,” said Michael Frayne, HPS’ Director of Marketing.

Alongside their regular Encompass product offering for the Americas region (excluding the Super Energy Efficient line), their new products for the EncompassEMEA region include Three Phase Reactors, Low and Medium Voltage Distribution Transformers, and Low and Medium Voltage Drive Isolation Transformers.
