Steljes announces a new distribution agreement with BenQ
The agreement strengthens Steljes’ projector portfolio, complementing SMART integrated solutions with a range of innovative education and business projectors suitable for all requirements and budgets.
The latest BenQ projector range include short throw models suitable for wall mounting above an interactive whiteboard, multiple data and video connections for use with both computer and video content and integrated audio speakers. With increasing emphasis on the total cost of ownership of display equipment, BenQ DLP projectors offer attractive running costs and future proof design. Filter-free construction simplifies product maintenance and offers minimal colour-decay; BenQ colours remain sharp and accurate throughout the life of the product. The addition of comprehensive remote monitoring and asset management means that products can be deployed with confidence.
A number of BenQ models are ‘3D ready’ opening up new opportunities for interactivity in the classroom for teachers and students alike. Unlike traditional 3D projection systems, the BenQ 3D range only requires one projector equipped with front projection 3D DLP technology.
Commenting on the agreement, Graham Wylie, Group Product Marketing Director at Steljes says “BenQ projectors strengthen our portfolio ensuring that we can offer our channel partners the best solution for their customers regardless of technology or price. The DLP market is 53%, in 2009 to date, of the overall EMEA projector market * and this agreement offers our reseller partners an improved opportunity to take advantage of this market.”
Royce Lye, Product & Marketing Manager at BenQ adds “We have made a significant number of changes to the portfolio over the last few years and have made several products specifically for the education market. Our main goal for 2010/2011 is to be the preferred DLP brand of choice for the UK’s education channel. Steljes is the recognised leading distributor of education technology in the UK and is therefore the ideal distributor to partner with to help us achieve our goal.”
