Hitachi has awarded Hills its APAC Distributor of the Year Award at a recent Hills’ tech expo event in Sydney.

The Award acknowledges Hills efforts which have seen a 42% year-on-year growth for Hitachi business in Australia – the highest growth rate in the Asia-Pacific region.

Gaurev Sethi, General Manager of Hitachi Australia, says the award recognises the importance of Hills as a distributor – and its ongoing success. ‘Since signing an exclusive distribution deal with Hill three years ago, our sales have increased significantly, particularly in the medium-to-large venue projection space,’ Sethi says. ‘It’s a real vindication of our business’ decision to deal with Hills as a value-added distributor in Australia and New Zealand.’

Matthew Old, Hills Group’s General Manager of Sales, sees the success as a result of a productive working relationship. ‘We have a great relationship with Hitachi that we have been building over the last three years and it has paid off for both businesses.’

Hitachi offers a wide selection of projectors, from inexpensive, portable units through to high-brightness 3 Chip DLP professional-grade projectors. Additionally, the company has a range of interactive flat panels, whiteboards, and even projectors to further assist in education and business endeavours.
