Retail

loves switch cabinets from the top shelf

We have been an established partner for retailers with multiple locations for 25 years. From discount to luxury. As a reliable manufacturer of switchgear that delivers on schedule and a far-sighted service provider for energy management and HACCP.

Why are our customers sure we are the right choice? Because we integrate all relevant devices and systems into a maximally minimalised distribution board – enabling smooth store openings and low-maintenance operation with minimal spare-part requirements.

Refrigerated shelves with glass doors in a retail store

What do discounters and drugstores require?

In most cases, a standard electrical distribution board is developed and manufactured; separate plug-ins for energy management, variable electricity tariffs, HACCP and e-mobility are integrated on request.

Above all, a safe and functional power supply for the main systems such as chest freezers, cold rooms and refrigerated shelves is essential. On request, Mangelberger installs an economical monitoring and energy management plug-in for the temperatures in the various refrigeration units, independent of the refrigeration manufacturer.

Added to this is the supply of checkouts, servers, ovens, reverse vending machines, ventilation systems and heat pumps as well as indoor and outdoor lighting. Indoor lighting is controlled according to opening hours; optionally, the lighting can be dimmed automatically or based on events.

All this with extremely low-wear switchgear and virtually zero downtime, even of individual components.

When the tradesman meets the customer

a small example from practice

In a luxury brand's store, a single light fitting burns out. Unfortunately, it is on a circuit that leaves half the boutique in the dark on this gloomy autumn day. A tradesman is called in quickly. The urgency drives up service costs. And then, right on time for his half-past-ten break, the electrician unpacks a ham-and-egg sandwich dripping with mayonnaise. The customers present watch the craftsmanship on display in amazement. And the store management wonders whether this one light could not have been protected more cleverly … so that the tradesman could come at leisure after closing time or the next morning before opening.

Frequently asked questions about switchgear in retail stores

Do switchgear manufacturers also support the planning?

If requested, we are certainly very happy to do so. Often when store concepts are internationalised into Germany or from Germany into other countries. We support the electrical planning and brief the respective specialist planners on site for the planning of further stores. The starting point for the planning is always a standard circuit diagram prepared in advance.

From how many stores is it worth standardising the switchgear?

From the very first! A structure thought through early on saves unnecessary installations, simplifies interfaces, reduces the need for specialist knowledge, shortens installation work on site and cuts costs significantly.

How flexible is good switchgear when refurbishing or relocating?

When refurbishing or relocating, high cost savings can be achieved in the electrical system if it was planned with foresight. For this purpose, Mangelberger has developed a special “add-on” that contains a selection of our plug-ins. This lets the user decide flexibly how far to optimise or automate an existing property. The big advantage: the add-on, including its plug-ins, can simply be unplugged and plugged in again elsewhere. So nothing is paid for twice. And – if no longer needed – we are happy to buy the plug-ins back.
