�We are elated to have Jim join our management team,� Pelletier said. �He is a real proven performer who brings with him a plethora of management skills and extensive, highly relevant telecommunications industry experience.�

�In addition to his significant sales and marketing credentials, Jim is a visionary technologist in new-generation telecommunications such as broadband, DSL and VoIP solutions,� Pelletier said. �He gives TeleMatrix the knowledge, experience and skill sets we need to solidify our foothold in hospitality, while at the same time continuing to expand our presence and products offerings in key high-growth commercial and residential markets.�

During its first 15 years in business, TeleMatrix focused on building its leadership position in hospitality, a sector that in the early �80s was sorely searching for a company such as TeleMatrix � a dependable supplier of durable, feature-rich guestroom phones with truly global product approval, distribution and customer support, Pelletier said. Today, TeleMatrix is well poised to take its winning ways to commercial and residential sectors also sorely in need of innovative, cost-effective telecom solutions supported by world-class sales, marketing and service teams.

�Make no mistake about it: We are committed to maintaining and strengthening TeleMatrix�s presence in hospitality,� Wright said. �Our expansion into commercial and residential has been in the works for a few years, but is finally coming to the forefront of our strategic growth plans as more and more phone companies and other strategic partners, distributors and end users in these widely untapped markets come to us asking for assistance.�

�TeleMatrix built its strong reputation one product, one installation project at a time, by listening very closely to customers� needs,� Wright said. �That commitment has only grown � as companies in commercial and residential markets have voiced a real need for a telecom solutions provider such as TeleMatrix. As always, we will follow our customers, wherever they takes us, with an unwavering commitment to exceed their expectations.�
