Alps Electric will appear at the Domotechnica trade show in Cologne, Germany, (13th to 16th February 2006) for the first time.

As part of the restructuring of sales activities towards markets for which the company will continue to produce products in Europe, Alps will have its first booth at the international trade show for large and small household appliances and for components.

The company already supplies components to all major manufacturers of white goods, but it will use the trade show platform to discuss the latest developments and trends with manufacturers and with the supply industry.

In Hall 11.2, at Booth F20/G21, Alps will be presenting a multitude of innovations.

Besides electromechanical components, such as pushbutton switches and all kinds of other different switches, the company will place particular emphasis on showing its wide range of rotary pulse encoders.

These devices are being used in ever increasing numbers of applications and, through the digitalisation of the electronics, they are replacing the conventional components used to select a program/cycle or perform other operations.

At Domotechnica, Alps will also be presenting a new rotary pulse encoder from the SDKU series.

These devices feature a built-in power switch and are well suited to applications in washing machines and dryers.

"Domotechnica is the ideal business platform for all forms of trade in the household appliance sector".

"It is the only international trade show that provides a complete overview of the new developments related to household appliances of all sizes".

"Furthermore, the component industry will have its own area to provide attendees from the trade with information about innovations for the household appliance industry of tomorrow", said Ulrich Kuhs, Marketing Manager, Alps Electric Europa.

"This combination - a comprehensive overview of the appliance products combined with the presentation of innovative components and assemblies - opens up new market opportunities, particularly for the target group of dealers that are specialised in this field".
