Thinklogical Sets New Sales Record in 2012

MILFORD, Conn., Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Thinklogical LLC, a global manufacturer and provider of secure fiber optic video routing and KVM extension systems, announced today that it achieved record growth in sales, profitability and new customers in 2012, driven by expanded market coverage, new products, and key personnel hires.

"Our remarkable growth is driven by the increasing need for fiber-based KVM and video extension and switching systems," said Joe Pajer, President and CEO of Thinklogical.

Pajer added, "We believe we will continue to see strong growth in 2013 across all the markets where these applications are found, including military and intelligence, Federal and municipal government, broadcast, post-production, research universities and laboratories, energy, oil and gas, and more. Thinklogical stands alone in our ability to offer solutions to these market segments."

Business Growth

Thinklogical generated significant new business in 2012, adding more than 100 new customers and setting sales records throughout the year.
