New Reps for Screen Innovations, URC, and Lenbrook

The company also announced it is now the sales representative firm of record for Screen Innovations, URC, and Lenbrook, which it notes are all leaders in their respective categories. While the company has a substantial list of supported brands, these new additions each fill an important and strategic role for the company and its dealers.

Screen Innovations, URC and Lenbrook are all leaders in their categories, each bringing something special to AV integrators and their homeowner clientele. Their addition to AV Partners’ portfolio is perfectly in-sync with our planned expansion into shading, lighting, and control.
