“We've recently partnered with a number of new manufacturers that include Hitachi, Rokform, Audiofly, Phiaton and Spyder,” Wigington said. “Our merchandising team is always trying to build new partnerships so we can offer the best selection of products and service to our dealers,”

The company has been visiting CES for 27 years and previously shared a space at the annual trade show. This year, Petra took a new approach and had a space of it's own in the iLounge area at CES, showcasing a wall of mobile accessories from well-known names such as Jabra, Griffin and Otter.

“We really wanted to showcase our new Wireless HQ,” said Brooke Wigington, Petra marketing director. “Wireless is a category that we have heavily invested in not only from the aspect of bringing in more lines to be able to offer the newest and most innovative wireless products, but we also brought in a team of dedicated wireless sales specialists to serve our wireless retailers.”
