It has a team of six people of which four are field reps who are based throughout the territory and are available to visit customers in their region.

Much of KLM’s growth has come due to its ability to work closely with end users and fit their needs with solid solutions.

“KLM strives to partner with dealers, distributors, consultants and end users to design and specify best of breed security solutions to make our world a little safer,” said Paul Walter, KLM partner. “We represent top-tier manufactures and are consistently recognized by our brands as being one of the best rep agencies in our industry. For example, KLM has been Aiphone’s ‘Rep of the Year’ in 2010, 2011 and 2012. VMP has had a strong presence and has been well respected in the security market for a long time, and we are excited and proud to work with Keith [Fulmer] and his team.”
