2007 was the big break-through-year for Adapt Control Solutions. The company was awarded the prestigious "Business Development Strategy Leadership Award" for 2007 by the reputable analyst firm Frost & Sullivan, and at the same time it established itself in several new national markets in Europe.

Key success factors

Apart from having a solid product line, the company has focused on establishing a network of dealerships. Adapt ensures its partners have an appropriate skills base and commitment to adopt its business philosophy. In return, they join a close and supportive organization where training, support and healthy margins are given. This has resulted in an exclusive distribution channel providing quality service to all clients. According to Christopher Dahl some of the key factors to the success are found in this approach. "We have a very attractive formula to offer our partners. Together with a state of the art control system, based on our own hardware and firmware, we have a support team with 10 years of experience doing installations and programming. In addition we have extremely good purchasing prices, making it possible for us to offer our partners better than average margins on all products being used in their installations", says Dahl.
