RTI has announced that as of 1 August Connected Media Australia will be the new distributor for both RTI and Pro Control brands in Australia and New Zealand.

“Connected Media’s experience in both residential and commercial markets will provide our customers with an excellent resource for sales and technical support, backed by dependable, trusted service,” says RTI vice president of global sales Mike Everett.

Connected Media, which is located in Sydney, will distribute and service the entire portfolio of RTI and Pro Control control and automation solutions. The company’s office, warehouse, and demonstration facility will give dealers in the region a dedicated venue for receiving hands-on training and product demonstrations, while Connected Media New Zealand, headed by Carey Dixon, completes the new partnership in New Zealand.

“We are very excited about and honoured by this opportunity. RTI offers a powerful and sophisticated control platform and requires a focused distribution model to reach its full potential in our market,” says Connected Media Australia general manager Gerrit Ryan.

“RTI will be at the centre of Connected Media’s universe, allowing our customers to bring value, custom control and automation to their installations. It’s an exciting time to be part of RTI as the company goes through a period of renewed growth as a manufacturer.”

RTI will be working with current distributor Avation to ensure dealers have an easy and orderly transition to the new distribution partner.
