Wesco / Anixter NA To Stop Selling Dahua and Hikvision
One of the world's biggest distributors will stop selling Dahua and Hikvision in North America, a move the company confirmed to IPVM, that deepens the challenges the PRC China manufacturers face.
In this post, based on Wesco corporate feedback, interviews with Anixter branches, and Hikvision's communication, we examine the impact of the move on Wesco/Anixter, its top rival ADI, and the future of Dahua and Hikvision in North America.
This comes just over a week after UK's Largest retailer, Tesco decided to stop using Dahua and Hikvision, joining a long list of entities banning the companies.
