R&M, the Swiss developer of infrastructure solutions for data and communications networks, has fully integrated the Italian rack and enclosure manufacturer Tecnosteel Srl into the R&M group over the past two and a half years.

 

Since June 1, Tecnosteel, based in Brunello, is called R&M Italia Srl. R&M acquired the enterprise at the beginning of 2022. Extensive investments were made in product development and new, highly automated production facilities.

 

The BladeShelter line designed by Tecnosteel is part of R&M’s overall solutions for infrastructure in computer rooms of all sizes. The product line also includes intelligent power distribution units (PDUs).

 

“The integration of Tecnosteel is a milestone in our growth strategy. It strengthens the market position in the LAN and Data Centre segments and increases the chances of success in the important project business. R&M has thus established itself as a full-service provider for the interiors of computer rooms,” says R&M CEO Michel Riva. With the Tecnosteel product range, R&M can provide tailored infrastructure solutions quickly and flexibly. The offer is primarily aimed at the Data Centre industry in Europe and the Middle East.

R&M has achieved sales successes since the acquisition began with, among other things, the BladeShelter cabinets designed by Tecnosteel. The state-of-the-art housings help to reduce power consumption in the data centre by guiding cooling air through the racks without loss. 

 

The product line includes state-of-the-art cooling and power distribution systems and all professional data centre enclosure components. R&M incorporates additional infrastructure components from partners, including fire protection, battery, and security systems. 

 

The integration of Tecnosteel also enables the development and in-house production of high-value cabinet systems for office and facility networks (Local Area Networks, LAN). They have already been successfully introduced in numerous R&M sales regions.

 

“Tecnosteel fits in with the R&M Group and our culture. Everything fits: Quality awareness, professional expertise, customer orientation, working methods, and the character of a medium-sized company,” says Michel Riva, CEO of R&M.--TradeArabia News Service
