Mississauga, ON (June 28th, 2007)  – VisionQuest’s line of consumer electronics will be distributed through Montreal based AVS Technologies starting in the month of July.  Last March, SYNNEX Canada announced the acquisition of all the assets of Redmond Group of Companies (“RGC”), including AVS technologies, an independent distributor of consumer electronics.  AVS Technologies has been serving Canada’s electronics retail industry since 1979 and have been the exclusive importer-marketer for brands like Case Logic, Cobra, Koss and SanDisk to name a few.

AVS Technologies will provide the same backing to VisionQuest as they have to their other brands and according to AVS’ Vice-President of Marketing, Richard Singerman the expertise of both AVS and SYNNEX will allow VisionQuest to have a strong & solid presence in the marketplace “AVS is very excited to be taking on the VisionQuest product line.  More than just LCD TVs, we believe that the VisionQuest brand will bring added value to Canadian retailers. We are confident that the Synnex distribution machine and the AVS Sales and Marketing teams will solidify VisionQuest in the Canadian marketplace.”

 

Furthermore, the new merger will allow VisionQuest to continue to deliver their promise of providing the highest level of service and support in the industry.  VisionQuest’s Jimmy Davlouros, Vice-President & General Manager is very enthusiastic about the new partnership: “There is no doubt that the consumer electronics channel is substantially different than that of the IT Channel no matter how you look at it and the people at AVS Technologies understand the needs of the dealers in the CE channel.  Moreover, they recognize the importance of securing vendor sell through and dealer satisfaction.  AVS Technologies under the management team of Michele Quenneville and Richard Singerman have been using a hands on approach with a touch of personal commitment which is precisely what our hard working dealers require during these competitive times.  AVS is the perfect solution to Channel Management and Order Management which is the envy of most suppliers in the industry. And I am very pleased and excited that VisionQuest Products can finally meet and exceed the needs of our dealers.”
