Wesco International, a provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services and supply chain solutions, formed an agreement with Acre Security that establishes Wesco as an exclusive U.S. distribution partner.

The agreement will deliver Acre’s cloud-native access control platform and forthcoming intrusion solutions to more customers while accelerating the industry’s transition from on-premise systems to modern, subscription-based security technologies. Wesco will serve as Acre’s exclusive U.S. distribution partner and a key strategic partner to support global growth.    

“By aligning Wesco’s distribution scale and robust services offering with Acre’s unified platform offerings — including cloud-native access control and intrusion solutions — the partnership enables a more seamless transition for customers evolving from traditional security architectures to cloud-native, future-ready solutions,” said Tara Dunning, vice president, converging technology, global strategy and sales, Wesco’s communications and security solutions business.

The collaboration is a milestone in expanding Acre’s distribution footprint and extends across Acre’s access control and intrusion detection portfolio, including on-premise and cloud-native platforms.

“At Acre, we believe security should evolve without friction,” said Kumar Sokka, CEO, Acre Security. “Wesco’s global reach and trusted reputation make it an ideal partner to help us deliver smarter, integrated security solutions at scale. Together, we’re making it easier for organizations to move forward with clarity, confidence and control. Our agreement will support organizations navigating complexity, regulation and rising threat levels. It reinforces Acre’s position as a trusted leader in enterprise-grade security and continues its investment in a unified, future-proof approach for customers around the world.”
