  • THE KNITEC DIFFERENCE

KniTec only sells hospitality technology and we specialize in hospitality televisions. We are experts in the hospitality televisions and the hospitality television market. Most of our competitors primarily sell carpet, curtains, mattresses and other soft goods.  Their focus is on design and ours is on technology.

Working directly with manufacturers is a challenge.  They have endless departments and red tape which making the release of any shipment or the answer to any simple question a monumental task.  KniTec alleviates those issues.

KniTec does not have employees, only partners. KniTec consists of 3 managing partners and a team of independent sales representatives scattered across the United States. What does this mean for you? Our sales consultants care and are dedicated to the future of hospitality televisions and their relationship with your company, not just the next sale.

KniTec was founded on January 2nd 2002 when founder Eric Christiansen chose to break away from his current position as Director of Sales at Optical Laser (a distributor of mass storage products) and pursue direct-to-end-user sales in the constantly evolving technology market. Initially, KniTec participated in document imaging, NAS storage device and CD/DVD publishing sales but soon became a direct partner with Pioneer Electronics. During that partnership, Knitec was introduced to professional video products and the first professional plasma displays. KniTec pursued sales and relationships with clients that could afford plasma technology which was primarily hospitality clients.

As our success grew with Pioneer, other plasma and hospitality television manufactures approached KniTec to offer their products to our existing client database. Those manufactures include: LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Philips, Sharp and RCA.  KniTec has seen explosive growth in both revenues and technology over the past 12 years. We are now proud partners with LG, Samsung, Panasonic, RCA, Philips, Sharp, Premier Mounts and Peerless Mounts giving us an excellent range of product offerings for our customers and potential customers.

Why KniTec?

Most Hotel Management, Ownership, Construction and Development companies depend on a team of consultants to provide up to date information and pricing for the rapidly changing hotel technology market. Consultants generally specify technology which provides them the greatest financial incentive and not the best technology for the property.  KniTec’s relationship with all major manufactures provides us a unique view of the market with the most up to date pricing, promotions and technical information. KniTec quotes over 100 properties a day and sells to more than 100 properties a month.  That makes us very savvy on what manufactures are offering and what hotel brands are buying. Why pay a team of consultants top dollar for their opinion when you can get better information from KniTec sales consultants for free?  KniTec also has a lab where the latest TVs and technology are tested and reviewed.  We know hospitality televisions so well, we are commonly asked by manufacture about the capabilities of their own product.

The KniTec Promise

KniTec partners and representatives will offer you the best product and price for each individual property without manufacture bias.  We carry all major brands and give our customers a broad spectrum of technology and options for each property and their unique environment. We will always answer our phone, email, text or IM no matter the situation. We pride ourselves in taking on both our successes and challenges with a full steam ahead attitude. We exist to solve your technology problems and we’d love the opportunity to take on your projects!
