“Having achieved the status as the number one Industrial Power Supply manufacturer in Japan, and with sales in excess of $230m, our vision is to expand that success globally,” said Masato Tanikawa, President and CEO of Cosel (above, right). “By bringing the Powerbox Group into Cosel, we gain additional design and manufacturing resources enabling us to increase our product offering to our existing customers as well as to enter new markets and acquire new customers.
