ADI Global Distribution, a wholesale distributor of security, AV, and low-voltage products, announced it will unify its Pro AV products distribution offering under the ADI Global Distribution brand.
Following the integration of its newly acquired Shoreview Distribution business, ADI will integrate its Herman Pro AV business in Spring 2022. Herman Integration Services (HIS), the AV labour subcontracting services, will retain its brand and continue to serve as a value-added service available through ADI.

"We identified Pro AV as a growing category for ADI and our customers, and we continue to make significant investments to broaden our reach and strengthen our market position," said Cynthia Menna, vice president, and general manager, of Pro AV at ADI.
"Unifying less than one solid brand and providing a central source for our Pro AV products portfolio will make it easier for customers to leverage ADI's scale and resources to fuel new growth."
The seamless omnichannel shopping experience
Customers can browse and purchase anytime from ADI through its Digital Branch or ADI app
Building upon ADI's strong global legacy of delivering value, the integration extends the company's full value proposition to all Pro AV customers across its North American business segment.
With 115 branch locations and 10 strategically located distribution centres across the region, customers will benefit from the availability of more brands, more inventories, more services, and more support. Additionally, customers can browse and purchase anytime from ADI through its Digital Branch or ADI app. Whether shopping in a branch, online, or through the mobile app, customers can expect the same seamless omnichannel shopping experience at ADI.
Easy and efficient installation
In addition to its product offering, ADI provides an array of support to help customers discover new opportunities and make installations easier and more efficient. HIS helps customers expand their AV capabilities and take on more projects by subcontracting AV labour.
With HIS, customers have access to full-time technicians, AV engineering, programming, CAD services, and project management.
Additional services
Additional services available through ADI include systems design, IP programming, project registration, remote monitoring, cybersecurity, training, and more.
"At ADI, we’re committed to building the foundation to support decades of Pro AV growth for our customers, and our industry. This change represents the next step in our strategy to make ADI the indispensable Pro AV partner of choice,” said Menna.
