Dear All,
I was wondering what are the prices and the sales policies in your countries, regarding electrical hardware.
Here are links for ABB and Schneider, and attached is the pricelist for Simatic. The catalogues are in Greek but you can search for references.
The policies for ABB and Schneider is that you get a discount between 40% and 55% depending on the amount of the order. Siemens gives a discount between 7% and 20% also depending on the amount of the order.
I never understood whats the deal with the discounts but as far as I remember it was always like that.
Here, because the automation market is small, most of the market is split between ABB, Schneider and Siemens. AB is present in Greece through an authorised dealer but I didnt manage to make buisness with them. All the AB prices are available only upon request. Other companies like Omron, Mitshubishi, Wago and so on, are present also through authorized dealers, but IMO their prices are not competitive and support is non-existent.
