Baur of Austria has appointed the Marlbo Trading Company, which has been in operation since 1989 in the field of electrical and allied products, as its sole agents in Sri Lanka.

For the first time this partnership will see the introduction of a cable fault detecting vehicle to the Sri Lankan market.

“This cable is similar to an ambulance for medical emergency and it will help detect a cable fault or the location of a damaged or perishing underground cable without digging the surface,” said Marlbo Trading Company Managing Director M. Maniymuthu. 

In addition, several Baur products will be marketed directly by Marlbo Trading Company from January 2020.  Baur in Austria has been a market leader in the service and maintenance of electrical power distribution systems for 70 years and its clients include power plant companies, mains operators and public utility and industrial and service companies.

“The Marlbo Trading Company has established itself in the Sri Lankan instruments market as a leader with nearly 40% market share. Our aim is to raise this to 50% by end-2012,” said Marlbo Trading Company Chief Executive Officer Neel Weedagama.

He also said that Marlbo would be conducting its year-end sale from 19-21 December at its head office premises at Abdul Gafoor Mawatha, Colombo 3.

“Testing and measuring instruments, safety products and lighting products will be on offer with discounts up to 60% at this biannual event. The sale will give the opportunity for members in the engineering field to purchase new branded quality products at an affordable price.” 

Malbo will also host an ‘Equipment Health Camp’ conducted by the engineers of Fluke and Kyoritsu, specially flown down for the event during the duration of the sale.

For the first Time in Sri Lanka, Marlbo has launched a trade-in offer for testing and measuring instruments for any brands with a full warranty of the manufacturer with very attractive discounts.

The special trade-in offer is launched as a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative of the company to help members of the electrical engineering field move towards using branded high-quality products with the latest technology.

Marlbo is the sole agent for many world-renowned brands from 80 countries in the field of industrial testing, measuring instruments and power utilities such as Fluke, Fluke Networks and Sensorlink of the US, Dilo of Germany, Kyoritsu of Japan, DV Power of Sweden, Michuad of France and Savic of Belgium known for their dependability, accuracy and durability.
