Ongoing in our series of introducing you to our global distribution partners, this month we would like you to meet Motavi, our authorised distributors for Malaysia and Brunei.
Safemark’s first foray out of the America’s came with the opening of the Hong Kong office Q2 2008. By Q3 we had our first distributor up and running, Motavi.
After a chance meeting between Jennifer Ferris, VP Sales, AP & ME and Ivo Nekvapil, CEO & Owner of Motavi at a SKAL luncheon in Hong Kong, Safemark’s longest standing distributor started selling safes.
“With Ivo’s experiences and connections in the hospitality business in Malaysia, this was a great opportunity for Safemark. We had a great brand and a world-class product, but no one outside of America knew who we were, Ivo’s connections certainly did a great job in opening doors for us and winning those initial contracts,” said Ferris.
Today the business is run by Ivo’s son Matthew and they continue to go from strength to strength. Matthew says of their decision to work with Safemark, “Motavi has been a distributor with Safemark for four years now. Working with Jennifer has always been fast and efficient. She is always there to support us, which is important. We couldn’t imagine working with any other safe brand.”
He goes on to say, “The best thing about the safe is the user-friendliness of the software. It has really helped win us many contracts. The fact that Safemark are approved by so many hotel chains, makes our life easier, it helps get through the door.”
Motavi’s reputation in their marketplace is second to none primarily due to their commitment to technical support. Their customers know that assistance is never far away. “And having Safemark behind us helps us tremendously” says Matthew.
Over the past four years Motavi has had many successful installations throughout Malaysia, notably, Pullmann Putrajaya, HardRock Penang, Swiss Garden and the Accor group of Hotels and we wish them continued success in the future.
