Allied Electronics to Distribute
Kavlico Pressure Sensors

September 16, 2008

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), has signed an agreement with Allied Electronics of Fort Worth, Texas to distribute a selection of Kavlico’s field-proven industrial pressure sensors.

“We are pleased to partner with Allied Electronics as we believe that their broad distribution network across the United States and Canada will enable Kavlico to reach a new segment of the industrial market looking for quick delivery of high accuracy, rugged sensors in low volumes.” said Chris Dixon, Director of Sales & Marketing, Industrial Products for Kavlico.

Allied will carry Kavlico’s P158 and P4000 pressure sensors for refrigerant pressure applications, Kavlico’s P255 general purpose pressure sensors, the P356 wet/dry differential pressure sensors, and the model P992 differential pressure sensor for VAV applications. All of the pressure sensors to be distributed by Allied require a 5 Vdc power supply and will provide an amplified voltage output proportional to pressure.

According to Chris Dixon, “Allied’s 55 sales branches nationwide will provide Kavlico customers with unsurpassed customer service while providing high quality pressure sensors in a timely, cost-effective manner.”
