Announcing the Winners of the 2025 Crestron Commercial Dealer of the Year Awards

Crestron is proud to announce the winners of the 2025 Commercial Dealer of the Year Awards. Nine firms in three categories were honored during a celebration in the Crestron booth at the InfoComm® 2026 trade show. The categories include Crestron’s Top Growth Dealers of the Year and True Blue Dealers of the Year (with one award going to firms in four different regions), as well as a special Global True Blue Dealer of the Year honor for AVI‑SPL.

“It’s an exciting time for Crestron, and this time of year affords us the perfect time to recognize our dealers and partners,” says Andy Bennett, SVP of Crestron Commercial. “These awards symbolize not only Crestron's commitment to excellence, but also allow us to recognize the partners that have excelled in delivering the True Blue experience to our customers.”

Top Growth Dealers of The Year

This award honors Crestron dealers with the highest percentage increases for 2025. This kind of evolution represents more than just a number, as this accolade recognizes the exceptional business momentum that these firms have created.

The winners are:

Bluewater Technologies
East Region: Bluewater Technologies

Bluewater Technologies is a Crestron Elite dealer, allying with Crestron as a strategic platform partner for scalable control, UC, and AV-over-IP solutions in the firm’s target verticals. Bluewater Technologies has demonstrated strong financial growth with Crestron, more than quadrupling its business in the last two years, reflecting increased alignment and momentum as a Crestron partner. That momentum’s highlighted by recent major projects at several large universities and enterprise customers, reinforcing Crestron’s position in both higher education and enterprise deployments. They also have four Masters Certified programmers on staff.

CVCS
West Region: CVCS (Court Video Conferencing Solutions)

CVCS is a great example of a dealer finding its niche, focusing on it, and seeing tremendous success as a result. A new Crestron dealer in 2024, CVCS has grown dramatically by taking a unique approach to applying and deploying Crestron products for their system designs in courtroom and conference room spaces, specifically leveraging 1 Beyond cameras and Automate VX multi-camera speaker-tracking solutions. By offering fresh designs in an untapped market for Crestron, CVCS has opened up a full funnel of opportunities, pointing to significant growth in this market for 2026.

Solotech
Canada: Solotech

Solotech has strategically focused on driving business through a Preferred Partner program that has had a significant impact on its buying cycles with Creston. Their executive team and Crestron’s Canadian staff have partnered to focus on training and ongoing conversations, driving a “Crestron-first” mentality that’s benefitting both businesses. This new approach, specifying and recommending Crestron products first and foremost, has led to Solotech’s consistent year-over-year growth, with significant increases in 2025.

FORTÉ
North America: FORTÉ

FORTÉ achieved more than 24% year-over-year revenue growth, primarily driven by expansion into several verticals, and working with Crestron for platform-led selling. That’s a True Blue partnership at the management level.

Two projects tell the story. One is a campus-wide deployment of DM NVX® AV-over-IP technology at one of the country's leading private schools (K-12 is a market segment FORTÉ deliberately activated to fuel growth). The other involved government infrastructure for a rapidly growing U.S. city that needed civic infrastructure to match, and FORTÉ delivered, deploying Crestron technology across the city’s new town hall and court facilities and establishing a replicable model for the enterprise and government vertical.

True Blue Dealers of the Year

While sales volume is a very concrete measure of a successful partnership, there are other factors that also deserve recognition, and that’s what this award is all about. This accolade recognizes a firm’s leadership in the market and its spirit of collaboration. It’s a celebration of the shared trust between Crestron and our dealers. It’s the essence of what we call “True Blue.”

The winners are:

Cenero
East Region: Cenero

Cenero is a multi-territory dealer that provides consistent support for Crestron’s brand strategy across the entire team, from ownership and management to its newest staffers. The firm’s terrific sales managers understand the fundamental value proposition of specifying Crestron products and constantly provide feedback to improve hardware and software development. As a result, they’ve convinced several clients to deploy Crestron solutions instead of competing solutions over the past 18 months. That approach is paying off, with 62% year-over-year growth in the first quarter of 2026, and 26.1% year to date.

Immedia
West Region: Immedia

Immedia was one of the first Crestron dealers to focus on hospitality solutions, and the firm’s been instrumental in the evolution of this emerging vertical. The Immedia team demonstrates its commitment to a “True Blue” partnership in all aspects of its business, and its executive staff engages with Crestron leadership to create a consistent, open dialogue. Immedia is genuinely interested in sharing its objectives and goals with Crestron, with a focus on creating opportunities for mutual success. On the numbers side, Immedia has seen 45% growth year-over-year, primarily due to their focus on hospitality and corporate projects.

Matrix Video Communications Corporation
Canada: Matrix Video Communications Corporation (AKA Matrix or Matrix VCC)

Matrix has been a True Blue Crestron organization for over 20 years. Founders Glenn and Shelly Burgess have been outstanding ambassadors to the Crestron culture by ensuring they hire dedicated teams of programmers across Canada, and always lead with Crestron. Now helmed by Robert Wotjas, examples of their commitment to the True Blue philosophy are evident in their approach to projects: They’re keenly focused on driving awareness of the value Crestron can bring to their end users and on ensuring the quality of the projects after installation, resulting in far fewer truck rolls. They provide full access to their team for training and inclusion with our technical and sales teams, the backbone of a great True Blue partnership. Their ever-steady year-over-year growth is a terrific illustration of this decades-long partnership at work.

American Sound
North America: American Sound

American Sound effectively doubled their sales and achieved significant growth over the past five years. With their current expansion into two additional locations and a strong focus on design-build partnerships, the company is clearly aligned with Crestron’s own growth objectives.

Projects that exemplify their work with Crestron include a large firm’s full AV upgrade for a divisible auditorium and conference space designed to support large presentations, hybrid meetings, and live events with ease. The system was built to be flexible and intuitive, with Crestron control, DM NVX AV-over-IP video distribution, and the deployment of 1 Beyond cameras including one with auto tracking. Another notable installation is the high-impact executive boardroom built for a prominent insurance company, also featuring 1 Beyond cameras that deliver seamless hybrid collaboration.

Global True Blue Partner of the Year

This award takes the idea of the True Blue spirit to a truly international stage, honoring a world class partner who demonstrates global leadership and an enduring commitment to Crestron.

AVI-SPL
AVI-SPL

Tampa-based AVI-SPL, operating at a scale that’s truly worldwide, services clients literally everywhere. The “About” section of their website sums it up:

AVI-SPL helps enterprise organizations ignite confidence and curiosity, integrate a consistent global technology strategy, increase efficiency, and inspire joy. We design simple, innovative, and personalized solutions. We provide AV, UC, and experiential technology solutions that drive results today and tomorrow and consistent service delivery you can count on.

What’s perhaps most impressive is the firm’s ability to maintain a consistency of experience for both Crestron and our mutual clients at such a massive scale. From the boardroom on down, AVI-SPL offers global and regional leadership focused on true partnership and engineering teams whose goal is providing best-in-class solutions that meet every client’s needs.

AVI-SPL demonstrates a real commitment to partnering with Crestron across all aspects of both organizations, and ultimately, they share something with every winner listed above: A willingness to work with Crestron to deliver transformative technology solutions; solutions that regularly exceed client expectations.

“Congratulations to all our winners,” says Bennett. “The team at Crestron is incredibly proud to partner with all of you.”
