Partnership to strengthen sales of products and services

Industria, a leading IPTV solutions provider, and Mariner Partners Inc, the Canadian systems integrator, recently signed a partnership agreement that is intended to serve as a foundation for successful sales activities between Industria's products and services and Mariner's services. This agreement marks Industria's move into the North American market.

"We are excited to be partnering with Mariner to provide our North American customers with the best IPTV products and integration services," said Rupert Graves, Industria's VP of Sales. "We are confident that this partnership will create several exciting possibilities for projects in the demanding, but very interesting, North American market."
