SYSTIMAX Solutions, global market leader in the design and manufacture of structured connectivity solutions, has announced that the combined forces of its new owner, CommScope, and SYSTIMAX Solutions is expected to lead to an expansion in the breadth and depth of its solutions and the furthering of its technological and market leadership.
CommScope, the world`s largest manufacturer of broadband coaxial cable and supplier of high-performance fibre optic and twisted pair cables, acquired the SYSTIMAX business from Avaya on 31 January 2004.
Randy Crenshaw, Executive Vice-President and General Manager, Enterprise Solutions, said: "We are very excited to have SYSTIMAX Solutions in the CommScope family. We share a passion to provide our customers with the very best `last mile` cabling and enterprise connectivity solutions. Our technologies are highly complementary and there is great potential for synergies which, when combined with our commitment to increase resources and focus, should help SYSTIMAX Solutions continue along its path of growth and market leadership."
Peter Karlsson, Senior Vice-President, SYSTIMAX Solutions, Sales, added: "We expect the newly energised SYSTIMAX Solutions to bring a number of distinct advantages to our customers and our BusinessPartners. Our people, who number more than 1 300 around the world in 90 countries, and our network of highly trained BusinessPartners selling our solutions in 140 countries, will provide continuity of relationships. According to industry reports, we have the leading global market position, and our commitment to creating technologically superior connectivity solutions will be boosted by the new ownership and the increased focus on our marketplace.
"We have a global brand in SYSTIMAX SCS that we believe is synonymous with technology leadership, quality, reliability and performance," added Karlsson. "We also have an established track record in supplying some of the world`s leading companies, including three-quarters of the FORTUNE 500, who benefit from our unique 20-year extended product warranty and applications assurance programmes. In addition, we are delighted that the world-renowned SYSTIMAX R&D team that has spearheaded many groundbreaking developments in the cabling industry will remain committed to its technology leadership work within SYSTIMAX Labs."
The first opportunity that customers will have to see the newly branded organisation will be in April, when a programme of SYSTIMAX Solutions Conferences will commence. They will take place in a number of key cities around the world and continue through to October. Distinguished members of technical staff from SYSTIMAX Labs will be among the speakers at the conferences.
