Sam Lingman | Corporate Sales Manager | UPS Power Solutions
Sam Lingman joined UPS Power Solutions 10 years ago and is one of New Zealand leading UPS and power quality experts. The company prioritises customer service and designing the best solution from the equipment manufacturers the company represents to deliver fit-for-purpose power solutions.
“Broadening the range of products that we use to deliver tailored power solutions was a decision made with our customers’ needs as the primary consideration.
We stress the importance of fit-for-purpose solutions, designed and delivered based on sound engineering principles. This is crucial when we assess the feasibility of new products and equipment and after a rigorous examination of the quality and performance of the APC range, we were comfortable that it offers both reliability and value for our customers.
With APC we have further broadened our product offer to suit different markets and industries as well as better support the wider UPS market, a good example of this is APCs cooling offer. Schneider Electric contributes 5% of annual turnover to research and development regardless of company performance which means continuous technology innovations are accessible to our customers.
APC have demonstrated a real willingness to provide our team with as much support and additional expertise as possible. Our engineers have undergone factory training and have access to Schneider’s technical experts so at this early stage, we are feeling well supported.
At the core of this partnership is a synergy of values. APC’s solutions and customer focussed approach is one that fits perfectly with ours and the outcome can only be better solutions and better protected New Zealand infrastructure.”
