What TaylorLong & Associates does

TaylorLong & Associates, Inc. is a privately held manufacturer's representative firm founded in 2004 and headquartered in Vancouver, Washington. The firm represents premier manufacturers of network-based security and audio-visual solutions to end-users, distributors, consultants, low-voltage integrators, and electrical contractors throughout the five-state Northwest territory of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho. The business does not develop its own products; instead, it curates and represents a coordinated portfolio of best-in-class physical-security and AV hardware sourced from third-party manufacturers, positioning itself as a single regional point of contact for integrated security solutions across the channel.

The represented portfolio is organized into four functional categories: access control (Camden Door Controls, Galaxy Access Control, Senstar, with Altronix power products supporting installations); surveillance solutions (Actineon network servers, EyeOTmonitor system-health monitoring, Viewz IP displays, Hanwha Vision cloud-managed cameras); infrastructure (Altronix power and data transmission, Altowav 60 GHz wireless, ITW Linx surge protection, MagDaddy cable management, Winsted control-room furniture); and communications/AV (Zenitel intelligent critical-communication systems). Recent additions such as Hanwha Vision and EyeOTmonitor extend the portfolio into cloud-managed and AI-adjacent categories, though the underlying AI/ML capabilities remain the property of the represented manufacturers rather than of TaylorLong itself.

The firm operates on a commission-based revenue model, earning compensation by facilitating sales between its manufacturer partners and the regional channel; pricing is set by the manufacturers, not by TaylorLong. Day-to-day operations are led by President Matt Doumitt (over 20 years of industry experience), with Sales Operations Manager Vinita Kendrick, HR/Accounting lead Nurella Doumitt, and strategic consultant Chuck Taylor (former President and founder) rounding out a small team. Ownership is founder/management-held with no identified institutional investors or external capital, and the firm has not pursued acquisitions, mergers, or public-market activities.

Product overview

TaylorLong & Associates is a manufacturer's representative firm (not a product manufacturer) that has represented premier manufacturers in network-based security and audio-visual solutions in the Northwest since 2004. The company offers a portfolio of physical security solutions through its manufacturer partners, organized into four product categories: (1) Access Control covering door controls, electric strikes, and access control platforms represented by Camden Door Controls, Galaxy Access Control, and Senstar; (2) Surveillance Solutions including network servers, monitoring platforms, and IP cameras from Actineon, EyeOTmonitor, Viewz, and Hanwha Vision; (3) Infrastructure Solutions encompassing power and data transmission (Altronix), wireless connectivity (Altowav), surge protection (ITW Linx), and cable management (MagDaddy); and (4) Communications/AV including intercom and critical communication systems (Zenitel) and control room consoles/furniture (Winsted). Rather than a unified software platform, TaylorLong's offering is a coordinated portfolio of best-in-class physical security and AV hardware products from multiple manufacturers, selected and represented as a complete security solutions offering.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Anixter: Now part of Wesco, Anixter is a long-standing global distributor of network, security, and AV infrastructure products to integrators and contractors. It overlaps with TLA's infrastructure and communications/AV product categories and competes for the same Northwest channel buyers.
• Wesco International: Fortune 500 diversified technology distributor with a meaningful security, networking, and communications portfolio across North America. Wesco competes with TLA's manufacturer partners for direct integrator relationships and has acquired Anixter to deepen low-voltage and security coverage.
• ScanSource: Public technology distributor serving resellers across security, AV/communications, and networking categories in North America. ScanSource carries overlapping brands (Hanwha, Altronix-class products) and serves the same integrator base that TLA's manufacturers target.
• Ingram Micro: Global IT and physical security distributor with a sizable physical security and AV practice. Ingram Micro competes for the same integrator purchasing relationships in the Pacific Northwest and represents many of the same upstream brands as TLA.

Direct peers

• ADI Global Distribution: Largest North American security products distributor, owned by Resideo. ADI sells many of the same manufacturer brands TLA represents (Hanwha, Altronix, Camden) directly to the same low-voltage integrators and electrical contractors in the Pacific Northwest, making it the most directly comparable go-to-market peer even though it operates a buy-resell model rather than a rep model.
