RTI has named Connected Media as its distributor for Australia and New Zealand.

Under the agreement, Connected Media will handle both the RTI and Pro Control brands, while RTI will work with current distributor Avation to ensure dealers an ‘easy and orderly’ transition to the new distribution partner.

‘Connected Media’s strategy is focused on the RTI and Pro Control product lines,’ says RTI VP of Global Sales, Mike Everett,. ‘The company’s experience in both residential and commercial markets will provide our customers with an excellent resource for sales and technical support, backed by dependable, trusted service.’

Connected Media will distribute and service the entire portfolio of RTI and Pro Control control and automation solutions. Centrally located in Sydney, Connected Media Australia's office, warehouse and demonstration facility will also give dealers in the region a dedicated venue for hands-on training and product demonstrations.

Headed Carey Dixon, Connected Media New Zealand completes the new partnership in New Zealand.

‘RTI has continued to stay at the forefront of the control technology evolution over the past 25 years,’ says Connected Media Australia General Manager, Gerrit Ryan. The company offers a powerful and sophisticated control platform and requires a focused distribution model to reach its full potential in our market. RTI will be at the centre of Connected Media’s universe – not just another brand in the portfolio – allowing our customers to bring much needed value and custom control and automation to their installations.’
