If a distributor in Fullerton, Calif., has its way, Hyundai will become as well known a name for security in the United States as it is for cars. World Trade Group Inc. has been named as the exclusive North American distributor for Hyundai Telecom digital security systems.
Hyundai was once part of the same South Korean business group that included the well-known automaker with the same name before spinning off into its own business in 1998. Hyundai manufactures commercial, residential and multiresidential systems, including CCTV and access control. According to World Trade Group President Adel Saad, some of the most exciting offerings that Hyundai brings to the residential market are a video-entry system that can be viewed through any home television set and a kitchen-specific system.
“This is something new to the American market,” says Saad, whose World Trade has been in business since 1996. “There is not anything similar in the market.”
