International. With substantial growth in the number of distributors in its network, as well as new manufacturers in its supplier portfolio, the Stampede company is celebrating a year of record growth.
Stampede has taken a number of strategic steps to empower its 11,500 distributors to take advantage of this seismic shift by consumers and professionals by connecting, integrating and sharing devices at work, school, government and home.
"At a time when the traditional AV industry is maturing, a new custom industry is rising to take its place, one that is based on the ideas of connecting, integrating and sharing entirely new devices in ecosystems built using highly customized software and applications," Kelly explained. "This change is a challenge for our industry to stop using the terms 'audio and video' and start using the terms 'see, hear and control' in order to understand the business opportunities this change is creating."
New manufacturers that delegated Stampede to serve as a distribution partner include Canon Security, Circle Technologies, UC Clearone, Furman, BlueBOLT, DJI Drones, Walkera, EPSON, HP Tablets, LG Electronics Consumer, Lumens, Marshall Electronics, Mustang, Neurona/Greenpeak, Samsung Consumer, Samsung Hospitality, Sharp Consumer, SONY EVI, Vaddio, VDO360, Vision, and Wyrestorm among many others.
According to Kelly, these manufacturers are choosing to work with Stampede because of the depth of their market knowledge and the strength of their dealer network, which has grown to more than 11,500 dealerships last year.
Even more encouraging for distributors and integrators, Stampede's sales are growing in its three primary product categories – displays, projectors, and unified communications, which is by far the fastest growing segment of the company's business.
