Regional Expansion Kempston Controls is actively expanding internationally, including a recent acquisition of PaC Components Pte Ltd in Singapore and investments in manufacturing capabilities across the UK and Northern Europe. This indicates growing demand for distributed electrical and automation components in new markets, presenting sales opportunities to supply localised inventories, support, and region-specific logistics solutions.

Product breadth With an extensive catalogue of over 1 million products and more than £15 million in stock, Kempston Controls can position as a one-stop shop for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) needs across lighting, thermal, automation, process, and HVAC sectors, enabling up-sell and cross-sell of complementary components to existing customers.

Strategic partnerships Recent partnerships with Brainboxes and Lenze enhance Kempston Controls’ automation capabilities, signaling opportunities to bundle electrical components with control solutions. This creates potential for integrated proposal offerings, longer project cycles, and higher-value sales to OEMs and system integrators.

AFDD launch The upcoming launch of KCM AFDD positions Kempston Controls in advanced safety and compliance solutions for electrical distribution. Sales opportunities exist to target facilities undergoing standards upgrades, retrofit projects, and collaboration with engineering teams seeking safer, standards-aligned components.

Manufacturing investments Investments in manufacturing technology at Holyhead and expanded European capabilities suggest increased capacity and faster lead times. This supports aggressive growth through high-demand projects, enabling proactive outreach to customers with tight production schedules and the need for reliable supply chains.
