Skyworth, a global leader in consumer electronics, today announced that it has selected Canadian technology distributor Firstech as Skyworth’s Master Distributor in Canada. Firstech will oversee all distribution and marketing activities for Skyworth in Canada, with a focus on the brand’s Lifestyle TV line, including the Clarus Outdoor line, Canvas Art® and Canvas Elite™ Art TVs and Companion Portable models.
Firstech, owned by Canadian tech veteran Bryan Sack who had a stong-standing career previously with Staub Electronics, is best-known as a distributor of advanced automotive technologies and vehicle security solutions in Canada, with established relationships across the retail and professional installation community. The Skyworth agreement marks a significant expansion for the company into the home entertainment category, giving Canadian retailers and installers the opportunity to work with a familiar trusted team as they add premium outdoor and indoor Art TV solutions to their offerings.
Skyworth’s line of super-bright, super-durable outdoor TVs provide powerful entertainment solutions to meet the demands of even the harshest, most extreme outdoor environments. With Firstech as Skyworth’s distribution arm, Canadian retailers and integrators will benefit from streamlined access to Skyworth products, localized support, and a dedicated team focused on the specific needs of the market.
As Master Distributor, Firstech will manage inventory, logistics, and sales operations for Skyworth products throughout Canada, while also leading trade and consumer marketing programs, channel development, and dealer outreach
Michael Gleason, Director of Sales, Skyworth USA, noted: “Expanding into Canada is a priority for us, and we wanted a distributor with the team and relationships already in place. Firstech has built exactly that. Together we can provide Canadian custom integrators with high performance, high value outdoor and design-forward Art TVs.”
“Skyworth’s Lifestyle line gives Canadian dealers something genuinely different to sell; premium TVs designed for the way people live, indoors and out. We’ve spent 20 years earning trust with retailers and installers across the country, and we’re putting that full team behind this launch,” said Bryan Sack, President of Firstech Canada.
Canadian retailers and integrators interested in offering SKYWORTH televisions can work directly with Firstech’s Canadian sales organization to open or expand their accounts. Firstech will provide access to ordering and inventory tools, training resources, and marketing assets designed to help partners introduce and sell SKYWORTH Lifestyle TVs effectively in their local markets.
