Glacier Computer of Amherst, New Hampshire, will offer its Everest computer product lines overseas through a global distribution agreement with damage prevention specialist ShockWatch.

Jeff Kilpatrick, vice president of marketing for Dallas-based ShockWatch, says the rugged mobile computers complement his company's product line.

"ShockWatch already manufactures and distributes a broad line of equipment monitors that our customers use to capture operational data on their forklifts.

"The mobile computing capabilities and rugged design of the Everest line make it a logical addition to our offerings for use in the same environments," he says.

The Everest computers mount onto forklifts, fleet vehicles or fixed locations. Its rugged design enables it to tolerate extreme temperatures, humidity, dust and vibration, a Glacier computer statement says.

Glacier channel manager Mark Mistretta says under the arrangement, the computers will now be available in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia through Shockwatch's independent dealers n 62 countries.

Glacier's Everest computers are engineered for use in the warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, construction and oil drilling industries - the same markets as ShockWatch's products.
