Dahua Technology, a pioneer video-centric provider of smart IoT solutions, has opened a facility in Ontario, Canada that includes a 12,600-square-foot warehouse and a customer service centre that provides bilingual tech support.
The facility expands Dahua’s existing warehouse footprint in North America.
The new facility will support operations with expanded tech support services and inventory stored in Canada to accommodate customers.
Commitment to Canadian Distributors
Tim Wang, President and CEO of Dahua Technology Canada, spoke to the significance of inventory local to Canada. “Our new Ontario facility reflects our commitment to our Canadian distributors and dealers, especially with all the supply chain challenges currently faced across the industry,” he said.
“From a logistics standpoint, the facility drastically shortens the lead time for customers in Canada.”
“Around 65% of our Canadian orders are shipped to Ontario, and now we’ll be able to keep stock closer to those customers and eliminate the time previously needed to cross the border.”
Strategic complement
Canadian shipments will be coming from within the country, without the two-day customs clearance procedure
This means Canadian shipments will be coming from within the country, without the two-day customs clearance procedure, high transportation costs, and hassle of paperwork.
The customer service centre is a strategic complement to Dahua Technology North America’s existing tech support operations. Operating from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time, the centre will provide high-level support in English and French.

“Our new warehouse and tech support teams strengthen our presence in Canada, which already includes sales managers and technical consultants in every territory,” adds Wang.
