LEADING RV/CAMPING EQUIPMENT GROUP ADDS ZOLEO TO ITS PORTFOLIO
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, 10 February 2022: Beam Communications Holdings Ltd (ASX: BCC) is pleased to announce that it has signed a partnership agreement with Leisure-Tec Australia that will see the leading recreational vehicle (RV) and outdoor equipment group offer the ZOLEO seamless global communicator through its distribution network.
Leisure-Tec Australia is a major player in the Australian caravan and camping industry, being part of Truma Gerätetechnik GmbH & Co. KG, a highly regarded and globally recognised German manufacturer of leisure products for caravans and motorhomes.
Leisure-Tec Australia created the myCOOLMAN brand of portable fridges and freezers and is the Australian representative for UK-based Milenco Ltd, one of the largest manufacturers of RV accessories, such as towing mirrors and wheel clamps.
Leisure-Tec Australia last month launched a new online marketplace, called Everythingcaravancamping, targeting Australia’s outdoor, caravan and camping market.
“As the representative to several international market-leading brands and companies in the RV and outdoor recreation sector, we are delighted to partner with Beam to have ZOLEO as part of our offering,” said Leisure-Tec Australia CEO, Paul Widdis.
“The ZOLEO offering sits well in our portfolio of innovative outdoor products that enrich the lives of our customers, and with more Australians choosing to holiday domestically as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth prospects for the outdoor, caravan and camping sector remain very strong.”
The multi-award winning ZOLEO device works with a smart phone to ensure users are always connected no matter where they roam. The solution automatically chooses the lowest cost network as it seamlessly switches between Wi-Fi, mobile and satellite.
“We are excited to be able to work with an industry leader like Leisure-Tec, which has an extensive distribution network and presence in the domestic RV market,” said Beam’s Vice President of ZOLEO Sales, Peter Papas.
“The opportunity to showcase ZOLEO alongside other leading global brands will reinforce ZOLEO’s position as the industry standard when it comes to safety and communications.”
