Samsung Techwin America, a global supplier of video surveillance products combining superior performance and value, announces their strategic partnership with PSA Security Network®. The partnership, introduced by Samsung Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Frank DeFina, will provide a seamless link between the manufacturer and PSA's network of more than 285 systems integrators who are part of the world's largest electronic security buying cooperative.

"This strategic partnership will define a new, collaborative way for Samsung to interface with key industry executives," said Mr. DeFina. "Working with PSA Security Network will enable us to raise awareness for our core services and technologies to a multitude of new consumers - another key aspect of Samsung's Vision 2010."

PSA Security Network, based in Westminster, Colorado, includes members who specialise in the design, installation, integration and maintenance of access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and fire and life safety systems. PSA Security Network's members combine their purchasing power and the resources of manufacturers like Samsung to provide customers with the benefits and personal attention to detail of locally-owned companies.

"PSA is proud to welcome Samsung into the PSA Security Network of vendor partners and its product offering to our owners and customers," said PSA President and CEO, Bill Bozeman.
