PRESS RELEASE
MULTIVISION SIGNS DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
WITH GREAT WALL
GREAT WALL TO MEET ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION QUOTA OF US$1
MILLION
MultiVision Intelligent Surveillance Limited ("MultiVision"
or the "Company"), a Hong Kong-based technology
company specialising in the design, development and
distribution of digital video surveillance products
and solutions, today announced that the Great Wall Industrial
Co., Ltd ("Great Wall") has signed a distribution
agreement to sell and support MultiVision's products
and solutions in the People's Republic of China (PRC).
THE AGREEMENT
Under the distribution agreement, Great Wall will distribute
and support MultiVision's full range of digital video
surveillance products and solutions, including the NetServer
series of digital video recorders and the Unet Client
Workstation of remote management and monitoring software.
Leveraging on its core client base, Great Wall will
focus primarily on customers from the defense industry
as well as others who require mobile solutions.
This agreement is an extension of the partnership MultiVision
and Great Wall entered earlier this year to tap the
transport sector in China. Both companies will jointly
market and distribute MultiVision's digital video surveillance
products and solutions to taxi companies in Beijing
for installation in their vehicles after the successful
completion of a proof-of-concept project.
Commenting on the distribution agreement, Mr. Xia Wen
Dong, Vice Board Chairman of Great Wall said, "After
looking up a host of companies offering digital video
surveillance products, we chose to team up with MultiVision
because of its breadth of products and solutions and
its track record in infrastructural projects. To succeed
in the markets we are targeting, we need an innovative
partner that does not just provide off-the-shelf products,
but a partner that can create innovative solutions."
He added that Great Wall's confidence in MultiVision
has been reinforced by the successful partnership established
in the taxi project.
"By extending our working relationship with MultiVision,
Great Wall will be able to offer enterprise-class digital
video surveillance products and solutions to its customers,
and we expect demand to surge over the next few years
in the run-up to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and
the World Expo Shanghai 2010," Mr. Xia said.
Great Wall is a conglomerate with businesses in real-estate,
building and construction, advertising and promotions,
telecommunications, as well as biological engineering.
It has an extensive customer base comprising companies
from both the private and public sectors.
Said Dennis Li, President and Chief Operations Officer
of MultiVision: "This agreement enhances and builds
on our existing partnership with Great Wall. We are
extremely pleased to be able to attract and tie up with
established companies such as Great Wall. Our earlier
partnership with the company has identified Great Wall
as a complementary distribution channel for MultiVision.
Given its extensive sales network, industry experience
and knowledge as well as established client base, we
believe it will provide an excellent channel for our
digital video surveillance products and solutions."
INTEREST OF SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDERS
AND DIRECTORS
None of the substantial shareholders or the Directors
of the Company has an interest in the transaction.
