Control and automation manufacturer RTI has updated its distributor network, naming A/V distribution systems developer Pulse-Eight as its master distributor in the UK to expand the company’s profile in the country.

The expanded relationship between RTI and Pulse-Eight follows a strategic partnership announced in August 20189 that served to bring Pulse-Eight’s video distribution technology solutions to the Americas under the RTI brand. As RTI’s master distributor in the UK, Pulse-Eight will stock the company’s line of control, automation and A/V distribution solutions for RTI dealers and distributors while also providing service and support.

‘RTI and Pulse-Eight have been working on a strategic partnership based on the tight integration of our two product lines,’ says RTI CEO, Ed McConaghay. ‘As we began to understand the value of each other's resources, together we determined that Pulse-Eight’s presence in the UK presented a unique opportunity for both companies. We're grateful for the dedicated distribution support Invision has given us for the past ten years, and look forward to offering dealers even more local support as we continue to build the RTI brand across the UK.’

‘Our partnership with RTI has made a big impact, and we're excited to take the next step as the company's master distributor in the UK,’ adds Pulse-Eight MD, Martin Ellis. ‘We will continue to support Invision and we are looking forward to working closely with RTI, developing our strategic partnership in the UK, in order to meet the control and A/V distribution needs of its customers.’
