Hammer Distribution, a leading value-added distributor of specialist technology solutions, has announced a new strategic partnership with Stormshield, a European leader in cybersecurity.
Under this agreement, Hammer will serve as a key distributor for Stormshield’s comprehensive range of Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW).
Hammer believes that as cyberthreats become increasingly sophisticated, the demand for robust, sovereign and flexible security infrastructure has never been higher. The company says that by adding Stormshield to its portfolio, it is reinforcing its commitment to providing the channel with “best-of-breed” security solutions.
Hammer adds that Stormshield’s Network Security range is uniquely positioned in the market due to its European certifications, including EU Restricted, NATO Restricted and ANSSI, which it says makes it well suited to organisations with stringent data protection requirements.
A partnership built on innovation and trust
“We are incredibly proud to welcome Stormshield to the Hammer family,” said Dominic Ryles at Hammer Distribution. “In an era of evolving digital warfare, our partners need security solutions they can trust implicitly. Stormshield’s pedigree offers a level of assurance and European engineering excellence that is rare in the market. This partnership is not just about expanding our product line; it’s about providing our resellers with a competitive edge in the high-growth cybersecurity sector.”
Benefits to the wider channel
For Hammer’s network of resellers and system integrators, this partnership opens up significant new revenue streams and technical advantages:
• Unique market positioning: Channel partners can now offer a European alternative to traditional US-based firewall vendors, appealing to clients concerned with data sovereignty and transparency
• Comprehensive support: Hammer will provide full technical pre-sales support, proof-of-concept (PoC) assistance and specialised training to ensure partners can deploy Stormshield solutions with confidence
• Scalable security: From small branches to large industrial infrastructures (OT), Stormshield’s NGFW solutions provide the scalability required to protect diverse environments
Mutual growth and vision
“We are delighted to partner with Hammer Distribution,” said Bertrand Trastour, Head Of Global Sales at Stormshield. “Hammer’s reputation for deep technical expertise and their proactive approach to channel development makes them the perfect partner to accelerate Stormshield’s growth in the region. Together, we are committed to empowering the channel to solve the most complex security challenges facing businesses today.”
The partnership is effective immediately, with Stormshield’s full suite of hardware and virtual NGFW appliances now available through Hammer Distribution.
