Phoenix Contact USA has entered into a strategic partnership with exida LLC to provide functional safety and cybersecurity assessments.

“As part of exida’s growth strategy, we have been looking to partner with a select group of companies, as a means of enhancing both companies’ product and service offerings,” said Steve Gandy, exida vice president of global business development. “Phoenix Contact has a reputation for providing quality products and services to the functional safety and industrial control system cybersecurity markets, which complements exida’s portfolio of products and services.  We are very pleased to be partnering with such a strong and innovative company as Phoenix Contact.”
