AWE becomes international hub for URC, now the central point for stock and support

CI distributor AWE has been appointed as the URC International Hub for stock, training and technical support. From May 1, URC assumed direct responsibility for international sales with AWE now being the central point of stock and support for many of the distributors across EMEA. The news was announced at AWE’s summer Expo.

AWE has been the exclusive UK distributor for URC since April 2011. “We are proud of what we have achieved together since we began working with URC” explains managing director Stuart Tickle.  “URC is driving forward with international development and our proven ability to offer technical products with great marketing, training and back-up has resulted in us being appointed as the International Hub. It is our aim to provide the international base with an enhanced service, assisting URC achieve their growth targets.  The great news is that our appointment will also provide our UK customer base with even better access to products supported by the best product and technical knowledge in the business.”

The URC range covers two main product lines, Complete Control and Total Control, which comprise a range of remotes, keypads, controllers and network amplifiers. At ISE earlier this year, the brand also announced integration with iOS/android devices.

Currently, AWE offers two URC training courses for installers.  The ‘Single Room Control with URC Complete Control’ course is covers URC CCP software, smartphone and tablet integration, as well as programmable remotes and extenders. The ‘Whole House Integration with URC Total Control’ course goes into more detail, showing how the system can scale from single room control to whole home automation and multiroom audio systems.
