HTSA, Crestron Bolster Relationship With Partnership for Education, Training

The Home Technology Specialists of America buying group is partnering with Crestron, giving members “an expanded set of options” for control systems, lighting, shading and security, said the companies Monday. HTSA is Crestron’s only national group partnership at this time, they said. Many HTSA members are already Crestron dealers. An HTSA spokesman emailed us that the new agreement will result in “even greater focus on Crestron by these members.” HTSA and Crestron will jointly develop training and education programs as part of the agreement, he said. John Clancy, Crestron Electronics vice president-residential, said the company has been committed to advancing its residential division over the past 18 months, “investing heavily in new products and building sales, marketing and support teams dedicated to the residential channel.”
