Hills has signed a distribution agreement with Xtralis to expand the distribution of its security and selected smoke detection products in Australia and New Zealand.

Xtralis is the manufacturer behind an award winning range of technologies that enable early, accurate and remote detection and visual verification of threats to critical assets and infrastructure.

Hills Chief Technology Officer Leica Ison says Xtralis’ products are a natural strategic fit for the company.

“This agreement allows Hills to broaden its service solutions and improve our customer offerings. It will further enhance Hills position as the leading provider of safety and security solutions in Australia,” she says.

“We’re excited about the opportunities this will bring to our security integrators who for the first time will be able to offer a smoke detection solution for compact areas through the Xtralis VLQ product.”

Xtralis director of sales for ANZ Eddie Tieppo says that the Hills partnership is the right fit at the right time as Xtralis works to expand its market share in the region.

“It is an exciting time for Xtralis having recently released our next-generation Xtralis Everywhere portfolio of converged safety and security solutions. Our new partnership with clear market leaders Hills will bring the latest award-winning Xtralis security technologies to the ANZ market,” he says.

Xtralis Security and Safety systems are deployed to protect high value assets globally. They have been installed in the European Parliament in Brussels, NASA, the Clinton Presidential Center, Heathrow Airport, and the Eurostar railway system to name a few.
