DETROIT--Sept. 18, 2002--ProClip USA, the exclusive North American importer and distributor of ProClip vehicle communication accessories, recently opened a sales office in Dearborn, Michigan.
ProClip products are manufactured in Karlsborg, Sweden by Brodit AB, a company established in 1983, to provide communication mounting solutions for vehicle interiors.
Today, ProClip products are custom fit for virtually every vehicle model and communication device available -- including cell phones, handheld PCs, PDAs, navigation systems, TV monitors and others. Currently, more than 1,500 custom-made ProClip vehicle communication accessories are distributed in more than 30 countries worldwide. The mounts are formed from quality ABS plastic -- rather than being mass produced through injection molding.
Bjorn Spilling, president of ProClip USA which is headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, says, "Opening a Detroit area office is important for our ability to better service and sell to the major U.S. auto manufacturers. Thanks to Brodit's ability to provide solutions for difficult applications, our products have already received wide acceptance by other automotive manufacturers including Volvo, Citroen and Renault."
The ProClip product line was first developed by Brodit's President and CEO Ebbe Johansson in the early 1980s. He designed and introduced mounting solutions for cell phones, meters and two-way radios in Swedish taxis without damaging the vehicles' dashboards. These practical, convenient solutions quickly spread to other industries and to other communication accessories.
Spilling notes, "The company philosophy is to provide customers with the same level of quality they expect from the vehicles and communication devices they are using. The result is convenient, secure, easily self-installed accessories that provide a safer driving experience."
In addition to providing custom mounting solutions for a number of original equipment manufacturers, ProClip products are now distributed to auto dealers, police and emergency vehicles, corporate sales fleets, recreation vehicles, leasing companies, wireless and cellular dealers, the construction industry and others.
Peder Blohm, a sales and marketing executive with more than 25 years of international automotive experience, has been assigned to head the Detroit area sales office.
