We welcomed the team from Cembre to the Liverpool branch last Thursday.
They got the opportunity to talk to us and our customers about cable solutions, from marking to termination.
Also on show some of the latest tooling to try including :
🛠️🪚 The B1350-C or B500ND (crimping), the B-TC450 or B-TC320ND (cutting) or the B-FL750ND (panel punch tool)
🖨️MG4E and Rolly3000 printers
🔌EWO cable entry system with EN45545-2 approval and IP66 rating
By having the team there, all staff members had the opportunity to ask any questions and learn a little more about what the Cembre brand has to offer.
Hands-on beats a catalogue every time
There is only so much a datasheet can tell you about a crimping tool. How it balances in the hand, how quickly it cycles, how it behaves at the top of its capacity – those are things you learn by using one, which is exactly what demo days like this make possible. Customers were able to put the crimping, cutting and punching tools through their paces on the bench, compare the marking printers side by side, and take a proper look at the EWO cable entry system with its rail-grade approval and IP66 rating – all with Cembre’s own specialists there to answer the detailed questions.
Something for every discipline
What made the day work was the breadth on show. Jointers gravitated to the battery crimping and cutting tools; panel builders spent their time with the punch tooling; rail-facing customers wanted the detail on the EWO cable entry system and its EN45545-2 fire performance approval; and almost everyone had questions about identification and marking – an area where small improvements save serious time across a big job. Cable marking rarely gets top billing, but ask anyone who has traced an unlabelled core through a crowded panel and they will tell you exactly why printers like the MG4E and Rolly3000 earn their keep.
Why we host days like this
Tooling is a significant investment for any contractor, and the wrong choice gets expensive quickly – in rework, in downtime, and in operator fatigue across hundreds of daily cycles. Getting the manufacturer, the distributor and the end user around the same bench takes the guesswork out. It is a natural extension of our close working partnership with Cembre, and of how the group approaches all its key manufacturer relationships: the more directly customers can access the expertise behind the products, the better their decisions get.
Want the demo van at a branch near you?
Thank you to the Cembre team for making the trip and to every customer who came along to the Liverpool branch. If you missed it and would like a closer look at any of the tooling or marking systems – or want to know when the demo van is next in your region – speak to your local branch and we will arrange it. Some tools you really do need to feel in your hand before you buy.
Keep an eye on the blog and our LinkedIn page for the next demo day – wherever the van stops next, it will be worth the visit.
