Altinex and Almo Professional A/V Strike Distribution DealAltinex and Almo Professional A/V have reached an agreement that grants Almo Professional A/V distribution rights to the entire Altinex product portfolio. This new distribution arrangement brings the Altinex suite of computer video interfaces, distribution amplifiers, switchers, matrix switchers, software, and a large variety of furniture connectivity products together to complement Almo Professional A/V's display and audio equipment offerings. Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Almo Professional A/V has regional offices throughout the United States, serving the pro A/V community. The new distribution agreement with Altinex allows the company to offer a myriad of solutions that complement Almo Professional A/V's other product offerings, enabling the company to serve as a one stop shop for integrators and consultants as they design and specify A/V systems for their clientele, the company says. According to Sam Taylor, executive vice president and COO for Almo Professional A/V, "Integrators and consultants need connectivity products and accessories that tie a whole project together and strengthen a bid. Their customers need A/V systems that operate intuitively. Our agreement with Altinex makes this possible." Taylor continued. "We are giving our partners a platform for success with the Altinex line by providing sales, technical, and integration support from our business development managers and our CTS certified sales force." Brian Rhatigan, CTS, Almo Professional A/V's business development manager is charged with overseeing the day-to-day activities between the two companies. He shared his optimism for the agreement. "The new distribution agreement between our firms creates a win-win situation for all involved -- particularly our customers, who will now have greater access to Altinex' product offerings. With a reputation for cutting-edge solutions that make today's A/V systems operate intuitively for the end user, all of us at Almo Professional A/V view our new distribution deal with Altinex as an ideal fit for our company." Wayne Childs, Altinex' Eastern US regional sales manager, was instrumental in brokering the deal between the two companies. "Altinex has been looking for a proven-performance partner to expand its reach and I am convinced this arrangement suits both companies very well," Childs said. "Almo Professional A/V carries products from many leading companies in our industry and they have the support and distribution infrastructure in place to ensure top notch customer service. I believe this agreement represents a terrific opportunity for both companies to extend our reach into new areas." ![](/std_images/blank.gif)
