Cooper Wiring Devices Sets the Stage to Become "Your One Source" for Electrical Wiring Devices

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., April 1, 2001 - Cooper Wiring Devices (CWD), the newest division of Texas-based Cooper Industries, combines its worldwide manufacturing capabilities and its Eagle Electric, Arrow Hart and Industrias Royer brands to provide the most complete offering of wiring devices for industrial, commercial, residential and datacom applications. The company's newly developed "Your One Solution" brochure provides electrical wiring contractors, distributors, MRO plant managers and specifying professionals with a "one-stop" guide to the company and its electrical wiring devices.

"The Cooper Wiring Devices portfolio of brands contains some of the most well established and respected names in the industry," says Jim Knapik, vice president of marketing, Cooper Wiring Devices. "We created this brochure to familiarize electrical contractors, facilities managers, electrical engineers and distributors with our new organization, our breadth of product offerings and our industry standards for performance, quality and ease of installation."

The "Your One Solution" brochure boldly details CWD's mission to become the "one source" for wiring device products such as: pin and sleeve devices; manual contactors/disconnect switches; hospital and specification grade switches; commercial grade switches and receptacles to decorator devices; TVSS/Surge Suppressors and Category 5e Datacom Products.

Along with company and product information, the brochure provides detailed descriptions of CWD's global capabilities while demonstrating its commitment to its customers through quality control and customer service programs. Along with six high-volume manufacturing facilities that use some of the most sophisticated processes to produce the highest-quality products, the company has distribution centers throughout North and South America that work diligently to fulfill orders quickly and completely.

The company's new product ordering process is highlighted as well. To optimize a simpler purchase process, CWD customers now use one order combining all Eagle and Arrow Hart products. Customers can place one order for all of their electrical wiring device needs. Then receive one combined shipment and a single invoice for everything from industrial locking devices to decorator wallplates.
