HAI Expands International Distribution
HAI, North America’s leading manufacturer of integrated automation and security products since 1985, has announced the addition of 24 new International Distribution Partners. The HAI Distributors have territorial rights to sell HAI products in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Greece, China, Russia, Romania, and their surrounding regions; the Caribbean islands; South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East; and Ecuador, including South America and some Central American countries.
Jeram Correa, HAI’s International Sales Manager credits HAI’s expansion to increased consumer demand and competition among security companies. “While traditional security systems are still in use, more and more companies are attempting to stand out from their competitors by expanding their product range with home automation systems.”
The new Distributors include 9 ADI locations throughout Canada, 3 ADI locations in Mexico, and 1 ADI location in Puerto Rico. ADI is North America’s largest wholesale distributor of security and low voltage products.
General Store N.V. Corporation of Aruba and GTI Sistemas de Seguridad in the Dominican Republic will handle HAI distribution throughout the Caribbean.
S.H. Constructions and Design Inc. of Quito will be HAI’s Distributor for Ecuador and the surrounding region of South America. They will be working in conjunction with long-time Distributor HOB Cibernetica of San Jose, Costa Rica, to expand sales in Central America as well.
Representing HAI in Romania and its neighboring countries is Avitech Co. of Bucharest, which looks to expand its product range from audiovisual and multimedia technologies into command and control systems and security. Joining Avitech to widen HAI’s distribution in Eastern Europe is ABR Enterprises Inc. of Moscow.
CKI International Technology Co. of Ano Glyfada will distribute HAI products in Greece continuing their aim to provide advanced communication, automation and surveillance solutions to educational institutions, government markets, financial institutions, and the health care industry. Legend Security of Athens will join them and sell HAI products both in Greece and the surrounding regions.
Mark Integra LLC of Dubai, UAE will handle HAI products in that country and Digitcom also of Dubai, UAE will distribute there as well as the rest of the Middle East.
