Exertis ProAV Australia president and CEO, Kevin Kelly credited the hard work of Exertis ProAV Australia general manager Nick Cocks in forging the new distribution agreement: “Nick’s 17 years of industry experience played a major role in reaching this agreement with Contacta, a market leader in providing assistive living solutions, and this was a top priority of the company.”
Cocks noted: “As a new player in the market with a strong global presence we want to create long term supplier partnerships as a base for our business. We select the companies we work with very carefully. What attracted us to Contacta was both the quality and the range of their products, with their innovative approach to the market they serve. We always ensure we have the time and resources available to be successful with the brands we represent.”
Commenting on the appointment, Contacta head of business development Ran Meyrav said: “We are excited to be working with Exertis Australia in this new partnership.
