Anixter International is a global supplier of enterprise cabling and security solutions

Optelecom-NKF, Inc., a leading global supplier of advanced video surveillance equipment and the manufacturer of Siqura surveillance solutions, announced that it signed a distribution agreement with the UK division of Anixter International, a global supplier of enterprise cabling and security solutions, electrical and electronic wire and cable, aerospace hardware, and fasteners.

Optelecom-NKF's partnership with Anixter in the UK will facilitate better service for customers throughout Britain and Ireland.

The UK division of Anixter has assigned a dedicated product manager, trained by Optelecom-NKF, to provide pre- and post-sales support for users of Siqura solutions. Ultimately, this enables Anixter in the UK to provide comprehensive expertise on Siqura solutions locally, ensuring complete, accessible, and specialised assistance for every application.

"After substantially reducing our video over fibre prices earlier this year to highly competitive rates, our contract with Anixter in the UK is yet another big step in improving our service offering to our UK customers," said Fabien Haubert, Optelecom-NKF's Senior Sales Director for EMEA.

Based on the friendly and successful business alliance that Optelecom-NKF and Anixter's USA division have enjoyed over the years, Optelecom-NKF believes that this new contract with Anixter in the UK will benefit all parties involved. By simplifying and shortening the lines of communication between supplier, support, and customers, both geographically and logistically, customers in Britain and Ireland can easily and swiftly obtain what they need, when they need it.
