Distributor's portfolio enhanced by best-in-class smartwatches, fitness trackers, home health monitoring, home automation and app-enabled devices
Greenville, SC (from 2014 New Age Electronics Dealer Summit) – October 2, 2014 – New Age Electronics, a leading distributor of consumer electronics and gaming products and services and a division of SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE: SNX), announced that it has expanded its Emerging Technology Strategy with the signing of multiple new vendor lines specializing in categories including smartwatches, fitness trackers, home health monitoring, home automation and app-enabled technology.
According to CEA's semi-annual industry forecast released in July, emerging technologies will augment 2014's total CE revenues to the tune of just under $5 billion and collectively result in a 242% year-over-year expansion, with an expected 108 percent growth in 2015. Earlier this year, New Age Electronics launched its Emerging Technology Strategy to support this wave of innovation, a multipronged approach supported by a dedicated team of seasoned product management and sales veterans that specifically focuses on emerging technology categories and advises retailers on the best products to bring to stores and online, while serving as a launch pad for cutting-edge vendors who represent key emerging technology categories.
New Age Electronics continues to expand its emerging technology portfolio by adding the following new vendor lines spanning key emerging categories:
Wearable Devices: ConnecteDevice Ltd., HealBe, MyKronoz, Now Computing, Omate, Wellograph
Home Automation: AwoX, iControl, Lumen Bulb, Smarthome Ventures
Home Health Monitoring: ReFleX Wireless, Vitagoods
App-Enabled Devices: Hyper, Smead
"We are thrilled to expand our Emerging Technology Strategy by signing multiple new vendors who bring new possibilities to our retailers through compelling and cutting-edge offerings that help their customers realize the true potential of technology," said Fred Towns, President, New Age Electronics. "By building a selective, best-in-class portfolio in this space, New Age Electronics is able to supply our retailers with a robust offering, while providing our vendors with highly individualized attention as they take a deep-dive into Retail."
In addition its newly signed vendors, New Age Electronics signed distribution agreements with several additional emerging technology vendors earlier this year including INSTEON, iRiver, Meta Watch, MOTA, Pivothead and WowWee.
