Company Profile
Kempston Controls was established in 1940 as a specialist distributor of American manufactured components. This business has been developed over the years to service the needs of a much broader audience, and through the careful choice of franchises, Kempston Controls has become a specialist technical distributor of electrical components, with an enviable reputation for stock and service.
The company occupies a 1850m2 site at Rushden near Northampton. This central location has made it possible for us to become a leading national distributor to the electrical industry. Orders can be taken over the phone via our very efficient telesales department, by fax, by e-mail and online. We can deliver all goods using a next-day service, and we aim to despatch all orders received before 4pm, the same day.
As well as being a National Specialist distributor of control equipment, we are also a leading manufacturer of Supply Monitoring equipment and Electronic Sub-Assembly. Our manufacturing facilities give us the added benefit of being able to offer value-added services, such as cable termination, final assembly and the testing of electronic devices.
Our strategic vision is to gain market share using new selling and marketing techniques and embracing new technologies. We always aim to give an unsurpassed service, and constantly look to improve.
