Hello to all our Readers,

ARM 9 Linux Systems

Artila in Taiwan is pushing our some very nice products these days, ARM 9 based tiny Linux powered boards and boxes. Their latest is highlighted in the Computer Section this month


New Opportunities for some of our Clients

Over the last few months we have been moving MasTec's focus to be singular. -- "A Sales Company"

Over the last 2-3 months, we have moved MasTec's sister company AC~DC Power Ltd to a next door office and warehouse.

AC~DC Power Ltd will now handle importing and main distribution of Power Products, making MasTec Ltd officially a Power Sub Distributor.

We would like to set up more dealers in New Zealand for our Power Product range.

Dealers can be from many industries - some examples --- surprise us with more types.

  • Computer Systems Sales
  • Network Installers and integrators
  • Computer Room Builders
  • Emergency Power System Builders
  • Alternative Power Systems --- we have some very nice new products see Solar and Inverters this newsletter
  • Marine Electronic Companies
  • Motor Home and Camping Sales companies
  • Truck / Bus System Builders
  • Garage Door Suppliers and Installers
  • Home Automation Companies
  • Factory / Manufacturing System Builders
  • If you want a significant opportuity do let us know.

These dealers will work with AC~DC Power Ltd and buy at excellent rates if they stock product.

Current Mastec Dealers may move across to AC~DC Power Ltd in the next few months if they wish to.

MasTec Ltd will still service our Industrial and end user Power Sales.

Please email our marketing person Jeannie Murdoch about this opportunity.
