T&B to Discontinue Anchor Product Line and Related Metering Equipment

By: Dale Funk

Thomas & Betts Corp., Memphis, Tenn., said it will discontinue the manufacture and sales of several product lines, including metering equipment, safety switches, meter packs and residential load centers.

The move, which includes product lines that came with its acquisition of Anchor Electric and the 1994 purchase of portions of the Challenger/Westinghouse circuit protection line, is part of the company's strategy to focus on its core industrial and commercial business. The products that will be discontinued accounted for approximately 3 percent of the annual sales of T&B's electrical division, said Nick Cassella, vice president, global marketing for that division.
