JLT Mobile Computers Opens the Doors to Local Office in the US
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Takes over the US VMT operation of its sales partner DAP Technologies to form
wholly-owned US subsidiary
Växjö, Sweden, December 2, 2014 * * * JLT Mobile Computers, Swedish
developer and manufacturer of rugged computers for demanding environments, today
announced that the company has formed a US subsidiary with office in Tempe,
Arizona. JLT first entered the US market in 1999 and has since 2007 been the
Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) of Vehicle-Mount Terminals (VMTs) for DAP
Technologies, who has sold the computers under the DAP brand in North America.
JLT takes over an organization of 13 employees from DAP to perform the sales,
services and staging of its VMTs across the North American market. US customers
that today buy VMTs from DAP will benefit from a closer relationship with the
original manufacturer while experiencing continuity of staff, service and
product quality.
JLT Mobile Computers, listed on the NASDAQ OMX First North, has been at the
forefront of rugged design since its inception in 1994, when it started building
electronic control systems for the Swedish forestry industry. JLT pioneered the
rugged computer market, shaping it over the last 20 years by instigating and
championing a level of design and manufacturing quality demanded by the leaders
in the world's toughest end-markets, including drilling, mining, construction,
ports and warehousing/logistics. Today, the company is selling its rugged
computers under the JLT brand as well as being the ODM for several leading
logistic and transport IT companies.
The new JLT US organization is led by Eric Miller, former VP of Sales at DAP.
The US subsidiary of JLT is located in the former DAP facilities in Tempe,
Arizona and takes over all existing customer agreements including warranty
commitments and services contracts for the DAP VMT products. JLT also takes over
existing reseller agreements and relationships.
"Since the company was founded, the US market has accounted for a substantial
part of JLT's overall sales, thus constituting a key strategic market for JLT.
Over time, we have formed a productive and close partnership based on mutual
respect and trust with our US sales partner, so I'm thrilled to be working with
this extraordinary team under this new structure," said Per Holmberg, CEO of JLT
Mobile Computers AB.
"Having our own local JLT sales office and experienced sales organization will
give US customers the benefit of working closely with the original design
manufacturer, while continuing to deal with the same local staff and benefit
from the same local services and support," added Eric Miller, CEO of the newly
founded JLT Mobile Computers. Inc. in the US.
The transition will be completed by December 31, 2014.
