Fitel Appoint AURIGA

Furukawa Electric Europe have announced that they have appointed Auriga as a distributor of their world renowned Fitel range of Fusion Splicers and Optical Fibre Cleavers.

Amongst these is the new handheld, lightweight, but still fully automatic, S-121A splicer, in which Auriga has already invested stock for immediate availability, in addition to its specialist sales expertise. Very competitively priced, the S-121A is designed to be easily portable for Fibre-To-The-Desk, Fibre-To-The-Home, in fact Fibre-To-The-Almost-Anywhere applications.

Adrian Wood, Fitel’s UK Sales Manager comments “With recent market changes, and the development of the S-121A, we’ve needed to reach more potential customers for our products. Given their more than a decade of fibre optic excellence and experience, who better than Auriga?”.

“We’re proud to have been chosen by Fitel to be at the forefront of their new marketing push.” Said Graham Lipson, Auriga’s Managing Director, “We’ve always been associated with market leading partners and brands, to which we’re delighted to now be able to offer our customers, Fitel.”
