America News: Directed Electronics acquires Trilogix Electronic Systems
Directed Electronics has acquired Trilogix Electronic Systems and its affiliates for an undisclosed purchase price.
Trilogix is a leader in vehicle integration solutions simplifying the installation of aftermarket remote start systems by providing innovative, software-based technology products. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
According to Directed Electronics’ senior vice president of corporate development & marketing, Kevin Duffy, given the increasingly high attachment rate of integration modules to remote start sales, the combination of Directed's broad distribution network and Trilogix's leading edge products and technology is expected to provide a significant long-term opportunity.
Trilogix founder & president Derek Schumann and his management team will remain in place, managing day-to-day Trilogix operations and leading the overall Directed effort in the bypass and integration category.
Trilogix's operations are located in Canada, where Directed recently acquired three entities (Astroflex, Autostart and Directed Canada), all of which are all engaged in the vehicle security and remote start business.
