theBPXhandbook
welcome to BPXWhether you are an existing customer
or considering using BPX for the first
time we hope you find this handbook a
useful guide to our company.
Over 40 years we have built a
reputation as a specialist, technical
distributor of industrial control and
factory automation products. Our
continued success - we are told - comes
from our commitment to product
support and customer service.
BPX continues to represent the best
of equipment manufacturers offering a
range of products across the control and
automation spectrum, from pushbuttons
and isolators to sophisticated process
control and computer solutions.
We now number over one hundred
people but remain a family business and
like to think that any customer can pick
up the telephone and be quickly given a
knowledgeable answer whatever the
question. It may be rare in these days of
multi-national corporations but long may
it last at BPX.

ChairmanBPX Group of Companies

BPX first opened for business in
1966. Since then substantial
investment in people, premises and
technology has helped us to become
perhaps the largest independent
distributor in the UK but we still believe
that distribution is a local business built
upon personal relationships.
There are now BPX branches located
in Leicester, Nottingham, Wakefield,
Northampton, Stoke, and Slough and
increasing business throughout the UK
and Europe from our online customers.
The complementary activities of BPX
and its associated companies ensure
that the BPX Group now has the facility
to supply all aspects of modern control
and automation systems from their
conception to their completion, from
crimp to computer all backed by first
class support and all with the famous
