Dear Sir,
You can expect Allen-Bradley to provide a broad range of quality products and local support. To help us fulfill
this expectation,Allen-Bradley has developed a close relationship with your local distributor. The authorized
Allen-Bradley distributor for your area is:
WESCO Distribution
5875 Highway Avenue
Jacksonville,FL 32254
(904)731-5900
Fax: (904) 739-5860
Allen-Bradley's distributor network is set up with one distributor per Area of Primary Responsibility(APR).
An APR is a geographical area that each distributor is authorized to sell in. This approach allows Allen-Bradley to
partner very closely with the authorized distributor. Allen-Bradley requires the authorized distributor to have
Technical Product Specialists, extensive product training, and substantial inventory commitment. We believe this
distribution approach provides the best level of service and commitment to our customers.
I would be happy to discuss our distribution philosophy in more detail or answer any questions that you may have.
Please do not hesitate to call me at(904) 614-0499. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Tm Benner
