Xilica has appointed Techni+Contact Canada — headquartered in Montreal with multiple offices thoughout the country — as its sole distribution partner for the Canadian market that it has served for more than 40 years.
Xilica joins a range of Techni+Contact-represented brands that includes AMX, Ecler, Utelogy, Spinetix and WolfVision, with the addition of Xilica’s modular DSP products intended to strengthen the distributor’s value proposition as a supplier of conferencing systems for business verticals. Techni-Contact works with a network of Canadian AV dealers, resellers, systems integrators, AV project consultants, and installers in corporate, education, government projects. The company also expects to see growing interest from live event venues seeking large-format systems as well as hospitality businesses seeking installed systems for restaurants and bars.
“Xilica is the first professional DSP manufacturer in the Techni-Contact portfolio, and fills an important gap in our product line,” says Julie Legault, president of Techni+Contact. “Xilica is aligned with our core verticals, and will help us propose and configure fully integrated solutions that are more competitive and on target with what our customers seek. Their clever, compact, and modular designs are an especially strong fit for the AV over IP ecosystem, while providing end users with the freedom of complete AV device control across the network.”
Legault adds that Xilica’s assorted modules, field-swappable cards, and expansion devices help remove the need to invest in large stockpiles of inventory for various products. “Depending on the cards we mix within a Xilica DSP, we can quickly configure whatever functionality our customers need,” she says. “This results in operational efficiency that saves us money, inventory, and warehouse costs, and makes the entire value chain work better for our customers.”
Mark Ullrich, Xilica senior manager, application sales, states, “Techni+Contact is a well-respected organization that is laser-focused on our core verticals, and equipped with the specialism and expertise that our shared customers demand. With multiple locations throughout Canada, advanced logistics facilities and an ability to consistently stock Xilica products with quick delivery, we are very fortunate to have Techni+Contact join our global partner network. We look forward to working closely with a highly talented and dedicated team that is uniquely qualified to represent our growing brand in Canada.”
