Power Distribution, Inc. signed an international licensing deal with UK-based Mardix.

The new agreement is designed to escalate the market penetration of PDI’s PowerWave Bus System into the UK, Europe, and the Middle East.

PDI formed a five-year relationship with Mardix, the UK switchgear, distribution and power management supplier.

Dean Bradshaw, Mardix Sales Director, said: “This agreement will scale Mardix’s penetration into the overhead bus market and provide a strategic addition to our well-rounded product portfolio.”

The PowerWave Bus System is showing signs of quick market penetration with significant, key customer installations throughout Europe and the Middle East, the company said in a statement.

Jose Luis Crespo, PDI's Vice President of International Sales, said: “The PowerWave Bus System is a robust solution to one of the key problems in a highly competitive market – IT space. Orders have been strong for the PDI system in the UK and Europe, particularly in the highly competitive financial sector in the UK. PDI has clearly differentiated itself in the overhead busway market with a best-in-class monitoring platform provided by the patented Branch Circuit Monitoring System. ”
