Latest addition to Avigilon’s global sales force will address fast-growing surveillance market in Russia and Commonwealth of Independent States

VANCOUVER, CANADA – March 7, 2012 – Avigilon, (TSX: AVO) a leader in high-definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance solutions, today announced its continuing global expansion into the fast-growing surveillance market of Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) with the appointment of Pavel Zhorin, regional sales director.

According to IMS Research network video surveillance sales in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) markets are expected to grow in excess of 30 percent in 2012.
