Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada (PRWEB) April 1, 2008 -- RobotShop Distribution inc. announced today that they have entered into an exclusive North American distribution agreement with Evolution Model Technology (EMT), a manufacturer of service robots and various development platforms.

Up until now, RobotShop has succeeded in distributing domestic robots, robot kits and specialized robot parts used in the construction of robots. This partnership with EMT increases RobotShop's product offer with robots and platforms destined for market segments such as police forces, security and surveillance, remote photography, animatronics and entertainment and much more.

"We are pleased to have come to an agreement with EMT because their products respond to requests we received for specific applications where robust and professional robotic platforms are required", said Mario Tremblay, president and founder of RobotShop. "By leveraging our worldwide notoriety and distribution strengths for EMT, we not only encourage Canadian innovation and entrepreneurial initiative in this field, but we are also helping to build the North American service robotics industry."

EMT has noticeable design strengths and even when their products are not unique, they are very competitive in terms of quality and price when compared to others on the market.

"I couldn't be happier to partner up with RobotShop to represent our products," said Garrett Fisher, owner of EMT. "RobotShop has always been excellent to work with in the past and our recent partnership will only strengthen our business relationship and allow us to concentrate on customer service, product support and innovative new products. Our goal to provide reliable and affordable alternatives to currently available SWAT, EOD and security platforms is made much easier with RobotShop as a partner. I have no doubt our partnership will lead to many exciting new products in the future."
