With this acquisition, GT Distributors will have its first physical location in the State of Florida to service the public safety market and gains a tenured staff with over 55 years of combined experience in the public safety industry. These additions combined with the existing strengths of GT Distributors will allow the company to improve and expand its product and service offerings in the southeast.

We are acquiring an experienced and respected staff of professionals from DGG and at the same time tripling their product offering,” said Jim Orr, President of GT Distributors.
