Pittsburgh-based AlarMax Distributors Inc., a national wholesale distributor of security, fire, access control, surveillance, AV, networking, and low-voltage solutions, is opening two new facilities, the AlarMax Product Experience (APEX) Innovation Lab and National Fulfillment Center.
As demand for integrated security and low-voltage solutions continues to evolve, AlarMax said Monday that distributors play an increasingly important role in helping customers access not only products, but also technical expertise, training, and dependable supply chain support.
The two new facilities will position the company to deliver greater value across every stage of the customer experience, according to Scott Shelander, AlarMax president and CEO.
“Today’s customers expect more than product availability — they expect expertise, education, and trusted partners who can help them design complete solutions,” Shelander said. “The APEX Innovation Lab represents our commitment to creating an environment where customers, supplier partners, and our own team can learn together, collaborate together, and ultimately deliver better outcomes.”
Located at AlarMax’s corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, the APEX Innovation Lab is an immersive technology experience center where customers, supplier partners, and employees can explore integrated security solutions from 15 of its top vendors in a hands-on environment.
For instance, visitors can experience technologies working together through interactive demonstrations, technical education, certification programs, product launches, and collaborative solution development.
The facility also features a dedicated training classroom designed to support ongoing professional development and customer education throughout the year.
Just minutes from AlarMax’s corporate headquarters, the company’s new 40,000-square-feet National Fulfillment Center expands inventory capacity and strengthens the company’s logistics network.
The facility will improve AlarMax’s ability to provide faster fulfillment, deeper inventory across key product categories, improved supply chain efficiency, and greater support for customers nationwide while supporting the company’s continued growth.
“These projects represent much more than new facilities — they represent our continued investment in the future of AlarMax and the customers we serve,” said Bill Teitelbaum, chairman of AlarMax Distributors.
“Distribution continues to evolve beyond simply moving products. Customers rely on trusted partners for inventory availability, technical expertise, education, and operational support,” Teitelbaum added. “By investing in both innovation and logistics, we’re strengthening every aspect of that partnership while positioning AlarMax for long-term growth.”
The company’s Grand Opening Celebration will be held Tuesday, Aug. 25 at the AlarMax National Fulfillment Center, 1214 Freedom Road, Cranberry Township, Pa., 16066.
Customers, supplier partners, and industry professionals are invited to tour the facility, experience live product demonstrations from +20 vendors and meet the AlarMax leadership team.
