UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES LTD
ANNOUNCES COMPANY NAME CHANGE
TO KOHLER UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER
Uninterruptible Power Supplies Limited
(UPSL), a subsidiary of Kohler Co., and
the exclusive supplier of PowerWAVE
UPS, generator and emergency lighting
products, is changing its name to Kohler
Uninterruptible Power (KUP), e ective
March 4th, 2019. Amongst the changes
will be updates to its legal name, logo and
website URL, which will change to www.
kohler-ups.co.uk.
UPSL’s name change is designed to ensure
the company’s name reflects the true breadth of
the business’ current o er, which now extends
to UPS systems, generators, emergency lighting
inverters, and class-leading 24/7 service, as
well as highlighting its membership of Kohler Co.
This is especially timely as next year Kohler will
celebrate 100 years of supplying products for power
generation and protection.
The UPSL name was first adopted more than
two decades ago and has achieved recognition
across the United Kingdom for innovative products
and service excellence. As a result of the rebrand,
customers and partners will continue to benefit
from best-in-class power protection solutions
and customer satisfaction levels, as well as the
advantages of KUP’s closer integration into the
Kohler Co.
David Renton, Managing Director for UPSL/
KUP commented: “It is 10 years since we became
a part of Kohler Co., and in that period, we have
seen the UPS market and our business develop
significantly, both in the UK and overseas. Our
membership of the Kohler Co. organisation, one of
the largest privately-held US companies, gives us
significant benefits in terms of financial stability,
infrastructure and world class management and
employee development processes. So as Kohler
Co. approaches its 100th anniversary in power
products and as we now supply much more than
uninterruptible power supplies, the name change
feels absolutely right.
“The rise of digitalisation and the rapid
adoption of several new technologies, such as
Edge and the Internet of Things (IoT), creates
countless opportunities for us as a business. With
the commitment of our incredible team and the
support of our parent company, we see major
opportunities to broaden our portfolio further and
take a leading position at the forefront of these
exciting developments in the coming years.”
