TECNEC

Value-added services are often overlooked when selecting a distributor. Many dealers and system integrators view their distributor merely as an ordering portal, prioritizing stock and price. However, why not partner with a distributor who seeks to build a mutually beneficial relationship? One that mirrors the relationship you have with your own customers? Since 1992, TecNec Distributing has provided this and more.

CUSTOMER-FIRST SERVICE

Partnering with TecNec will remind you how satisfying it feels to be the customer. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff forms the backbone of our personalized customer-first service, facilitated through our dedicated account specialist system. We assign an inside representative well-versed in your area of expertise to keep you informed about the latest product trends, cost-effective alternatives, timely advice, and the fastest delivery options to ensure you receive what you need on time.

ONLY AVAILABLE FROM TECNEC

TecNec carries many exclusive brands. Why does it matter? We are able to control the sales channel on your behalf, enforcing MAP policies and sales protection on registered bids. This ensures you the highest possible margins and no undercutting. We are here to be your partner in business!

CUSTOM BUILT CABLES & PANELS

American craftsmanship and innovation is still alive and well at TecNec. We are the only industry distributor to house an on-site shop with on-time delivery of custom fiber & copper cables, custom AV panels, cable reels, wall plates and field boxes. Our shop is certified by Neutrik (opticalCON), Belden, Canare and LEMO. Whether it’s SMPTE camera cables for stadium integration or elegant panel work for a Fortune 100 boardroom, we’re your complete source. Take advantage of our free panel builder app to create all your metalwork needs.

ONE-STOP-SHOP DEALER LEVEL PRICING

We have distribution agreements with most of the top brands in our industry, allowing you to buy at the same dealer pricing as your direct relationships with these brands. By using us as your one-stop shop, you can reduce the number of purchase orders you need to manage. Additionally, you can take advantage of our large inventory and benefit from faster delivery times.

A COMPANY OF OWNERS

No one works harder for customers than a company owner! In 2016, TecNec became 100% employee-owned. This means you benefit from working directly with owners who are dedicated to your profitability. Our team is united in the same goal: your success. Now more than ever, your success is our success.

KITTING SERVICES

Some of the nation’s largest integrators recognize the immense value of our kitting services, and you can too! Simply specify the cables, connectors, tooling, and wall panels you need, and we’ll deliver a unified kit for your field technicians. This ensures a consistent experience for both your technicians and customers, while simplifying your ordering process with a single SKU. Streamline installations for broadcast, commercial, educational, worship, military, and more.
