MPE appoints its first UK distributor

This is the first time in its 95 year history that the Merseyside company will use a distributor for the UK market.

It has come about as the company experiences an increase in business from its home market and a growth in the number of customers in its client base.

Historically, MPE has traded directly with UK clients directly, but growth in the last five years has caused the company to adopt the same distribution model as it uses in other parts of the world.  The company will continue to supply authorised distribution partners worldwide and major project integrators in the UK directly, but clients whose requirements are smaller in scale, or of a more occasional nature, will now be supplied through the distributor.


The SACA Group is the UK arm of SACA Europe, based in the Netherlands. It is staffed by trained engineers, and specialises in electronics component distribution. SACA Europe is an authorised MPE distribution partner, serving customers in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

SACA UK will be based at the same address as MPE in Liverpool, to shorten the lines of communication, and to maximise the speed and efficiency of response to sales enquiries and technical questions and of subsequent product supply to the UK market. The co-location also means that custom requirements can be discussed with MPE experts immediately.

SACA Group in the UK is also the authorised UK distributor for EMI Solutions, Konnect RF and Netzer Precision Motor Sensors.
