About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Graco Inc. Announces New Organizational Structure To Drive Global Growth

Graco Inc. (NYSE: GGG), a worldwide leader in commercial and industrial fluid and powder handling systems, announced today a new organizational structure to unlock global growth opportunities and drive sustainable profitability and operational efficiency.

“Establishing a market-oriented global structure will ensure that we are well positioned long term to enter new markets, capitalize on our most significant opportunities and accelerate our growth,” said Mark Sheahan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Graco.

Effective January 1, 2025, the company will move to a global, customer-centric operating structure with four business divisions: Industrial, Expansion Markets, Contractor and Powder. At that time, the South and Central America (SCA), Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific (AP) regions, which previously operated independently, will be integrated into the business divisions.

Industrial Division:

The company’s current Industrial and Lubrication Equipment Divisions, along with the Process Transfer Equipment business that is part of the company’s Process Division, will be combined to form the new global Industrial Division. Peter J. O’Shea, current President, Worldwide Lubrication Equipment Division, and President, South and Central America, will serve as President, Industrial Division. In addition, with the integration of regions into the company’s global divisional structure, Anthony J. Gargano, current President, Asia Pacific, will become Global Sales Lead for the Industrial Division.

Expansion Markets:

The new Expansion Markets Division will focus on driving Graco’s inorganic growth in adjacent markets. The company’s existing environmental, semiconductor, high-pressure valves and electric motors businesses, together with select future ventures and acquisitions in new or adjacent markets, will reside within this newly-formed division. Timothy R. White, current President, Worldwide Process Division, will assume the role of President, Expansion Markets Division.

Contractor and Powder Divisions:

The company's Contractor Equipment Division, renamed the Contractor Division, will be restructured to serve the needs of our global customers. The Powder Division is currently structured as a global business and will continue to operate as it does today. Both divisions will retain their current executive leadership.

“The redesigned organization will simplify our operations, increase speed to market, drive efficiency and create alignment across the enterprise,” said Sheahan. “These strategic changes will better position Graco to put our customers first, innovate, and align our investments with our top growth opportunities.”

Starting January 1, 2025, Graco will classify its business into three reportable segments: Contractor, Industrial and Expansion Markets.

  • The Industrial segment, consisting of the newly formed Industrial Division and the Powder Division.
  • The Expansion Markets segment consisting of the Expansion Markets Division.
  • The Contractor segment, consisting of the Contractor Division, will remain unchanged as a reporting segment relative to prior periods.

The company will report financial results under these reporting segments beginning with the first quarter of 2025. It expects to provide recast segment financial information in connection with its earnings release for the fourth quarter of 2024 as supplemental information on the company’s website at www.graco.com.

Caroline Chambers, President, EMEA, will depart Graco on December 31, 2024 after assisting with the transition.

“Caroline has significantly contributed to Graco’s success over the course of her career, most recently as the leader of our EMEA regional team,” said Sheahan. “She has been unwavering in her dedication to serving the best interests of the company and its customers. I extend my sincerest appreciation for her many years of service and leadership, and wish her the best of success in her future endeavors.”
