Winston-Salem, NC… Amarr Garage Doors recently announced their second major new strategic alliance in the past 30 days. Beginning in July, Amarr is distributing Linear brand electric garage door openers throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and The Caribbean. This exclusive, international agreement adds Linear to Amarr’s opener portfolio, which already includes the number one brand of openers in the garage door dealer channel, LiftMaster. “We now carry the leading brand in the category, and the fastest-growing. This one-two punch is going to make us relevant to an increasing numbers of garage door dealers and consumers,” said Patrick O’Sullivan, VP of Marketing for Amarr. In June, Amarr announced an exclusive distribution agreement with Dynasty Iron Doors, a Phoenix-based start-up that makes high-end, hand-forged steel doors. Both deals create instant distribution for Dynasty and Linear, as Amarr has 63 U.S. distribution centers and a network of over 3,000 independent dealers. “Housing starts are well off their high of January 2006 but we are not taking our foot off the gas. Our relationships with Dynasty and Linear are strategic in that they make products that compliment our own, yet these companies bring an expertise that would hard for us to replicate,” said O’Sullivan. “We’re excited for our dealers as well as for Linear and Dynasty. These relationships will mean even more choices for consumers and fit our strategy of offering style and variety.”
