Product Sourcing

Integrating quality, cost-effective products and components


ICT recognises the benefits of sourcing and recommending quality third-party products and components to enhance the automation solutions we provide to our clients. This model allows us to "cherry-pick" the world's leading products, taking advantage of the latest thinking, technologies, research & development, manufacturing processes and product support. And we get to focus on what we do best – design and integrate the solutions that optimise the products within ICT client environments. As consultants, we assist more remote clients by evaluating, recommending and supporting local partners to implement ICT-designed solutions.

For ICT clients, this translates to reduced costs, higher-quality solutions and the confidence of dealing with the big, global names in automation products such as Siemens, Pilz, Omron, Rockwell and Schneider.
