Graybar is expanding its traditional communications and electrical product portfolio to include security and notification products.
The distributor is doing this to address the growing demands of communications resellers and electrical contractors.
Graybar has added surveillance cameras, access control devices and notification systems for distribution throughout its logistics supply network of 250 locations nationwide. The distributor has assembled a product portfolio that includes companies such as Pelco, Keyscan, RCI, Potter Signal, GAI-Tronics, Sensaphone, and Altronix. Graybar also has expanded relationships with several of its legacy suppliers to promote their security offers. These include Aiphone, Brady, Edwards Signaling, Lutron, Viking Electronics, and Wheelock.
To meet customer demand and ensure speedy delivery, Graybar will inventory and ship security and notification products through the Graybar zone warehouse logistics network, providing just-in-time delivery for its customers who install these products. These include primarily communications resellers and electrical contractors.
"With the addition of this new product portfolio Graybar is working to our customers' advantage by providing a complete offering of low-voltage subsystems used in commercial buildings," says Al Eddings, vice president-comm/data products for Graybar. "In addition, Graybar's information technology and logistics capabilities are raising the bar on performance and value for our customers, which enables us to deliver security and notification hardware quickly, easily and efficiently."
Graybar will introduce the security and notification system offer to the marketplace on Monday, Jan. 12 at the winter BICSI Conference in Orlando, Fla. The conference is taking place at the Gaylord Palms Hotel. Graybar has assembled 17 of its security and notification system product manufacturers to showcase their systems at the conference. The distributor will have technology experts and engineers available to answer questions and assist with technology implementation.
