CommScope, the world’s largest manufacturer of broadband coaxial cable and supplier of high-performance fiber-optic and twisted pair cables, acquired SYSTIMAX Solutions from Avaya on Jan. 31 this year.

“The acquisition by CommScope is a positive step for SYSTIMAX Solutions as it brings together the businesses of two market leaders with complimenting solutions and services. SYSTIMAX Solutions will bring stronger focus to our customers in the Middle East and create synergies that will benefit both core businesses,” said Martin Hennessey, sales director of SYSTIMAX Solutions, MENA, Turkey & Greece.

SYSTIMAX Solutions is a company engaged in the design and manufacture of structured connectivity solutions. Across the MENA region SYSTIMAX Solutions has many successful deployments in enterprise networking infrastructures. Its acquisition by CommScope re-affirms SYSTIMAX Solutions’ continued focus on structured network cabling technologies and ensures permanence to its long-term customer offering.

Peter Karlsson, senior VP, Sales, SYSTIMAX Solutions, said: “We expect the newly energized SYSTIMAX Solutions to bring a number of distinct advantages to our customers and our business partners. Our people, who number more than 1,300 around the world in 90 countries, and our network of highly trained business partners selling our solutions in 140 countries, will provide continuity of relationships.

“According to industry reports, we have the leading global market position, and our commitment to creating technologically superior connectivity solutions will be boosted by the new ownership and the increased focus on our marketplace.

“We have an established track record in supplying some of the world’s leading companies, including three-quarters of the FORTUNE 500, who benefit from our unique 20-year Extended Product Warranty and Applications Assurance programs.

“In addition, we are delighted that the world-renowned SYSTIMAX R&D team that has spearheaded many groundbreaking developments in the cabling industry will remain committed to its technology leadership work within SYSTIMAX Labs.”

The first opportunity that customers will have to see the newly branded organization will be in April this year, when a program of SYSTIMAX Solutions conferences will commence in a number of key locations around the world including the Middle East.
