Corporate affairs
Panduit currently operates nine manufacturing facilities (four in the U.S., one each in Costa Rica, Mexico, China, Romania, the Netherlands and Singapore), each of which is ISO 9000 and ISO 14001 certified, and twelve global warehouses.
In June 2008, Panduit broke ground on a new corporate headquarters facility on a 52-acre (210,000 m2) site in Tinley Park. The planned development includes an initial 280,000-square-foot (26,000 m2) building and allows for future expansion to accommodate an additional 1,200 staff. Construction was completed in early spring 2010, with occupancy starting in March 2010.
The building is a realization of the UPI approach, and has received LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Products and services
Panduit delivers physical infrastructure solutions for application throughout several core areas: data center, connected buildings, enterprise networks, industrial automation, and OEM/MRO.
These solutions leverag strategic partnerships with industry leaders and incorporate innovative products from the following lines:
Unified physical infrastructure
The term "unified physical infrastructure" or "UPI" denotes the convergence of physical layer systems (such as power, lighting, data, voice, and security) that today are separately deployed and managed. Panduit solutions use UPI principles to manage the risk and complexity associated with system convergence and integration, while also reducing cost and improving sustainability.
Industry analysts including Gartner and Frost and Sullivan have validated UPI as a concept that "alters the manner with which customers migrate from silo-based or proprietary architectures to more open, converged systems", and "encourages more frequent interaction between IT and facilities management personnel, so manufacturing uptime and flexibility requirements can be met."
