D&H Canada has inked eight distribution agreements with high profile vendors.
All of these new vendors will fit into the distributor’s SMB focus. This round of new vendors coupled with a few other irons in the fire has the potential to double the amount of new vendor partnerships D&H does in a typical year in Canada.
Greg Tobin, GM of D&H Canada said that part of the company’s value proposition is to represent quality products across a diverse stretch of categories.
The new vendor signings started with APC for power protection devices, Optoma for multimedia projectors; Epson for all-in-one printers, scanners and projectors; Eton for ruggedized radios and speakers, weather monitoring devices and charging units; Data Robotics for DAS and NAS storage; Mobile Edge for durable laptop bags; Veebeam for wireless PC-to-television devices; and Patriot Memory of high end USB flash drives.
