The New World Brands Family of Companies
The history of New World Brands, Inc. (OTCBB:NWBD:OB), founded in 1986, is characterized by convergence, fluidity and a commitment to innovation. NWBD is proud to orchestrate a unique corporate offering across a broad spectrum of IP networking products and services. The Company’s visionary, multi-divisional approach has allowed NWBD to function as a niche provider of strategic solutions in the varied arenas of VoIP telecom service, IP research and development, product distribution, network build-out and engineering consultation. Therefore, our executive leadership formulated the tactically interconnected New World Brands Family of Companies.
In 2006, NWBD joined forces with Qualmax, Inc., in order to bring cutting edge IP networking solutions to the service provider, enterprise and SME markets of North and South America. At the same time, NWBD closed its wine and spirits import business and began to fully focus on the expanding VoIP arena.
Qualmax, now a division of NWBD, was founded in 2001 by the father and son team of M. David Kamrat and Noah Kamrat. Qualmax originated as a VAR specializing in the deployment of access servers from industry-leading manufacturers. Qualmax expertly configured custom set-ups in order to migrate service providers, VoIP carriers, CLECs, global ISPs and emerging multinational carriers to the latest, most efficient IP technologies.
Prior to merging with NWBD, Qualmax merged with the PINK SHEETS company, Bench Group, Inc., in 2005, and the surviving company changed its name to Qualmax and its symbol to QMXI. In early 2006, Qualmax completed the asset purchase of the communications division of Better Online Solutions (BOS), a manufacturer of pioneering VoIP and GSM gateway products that NWBD re-branded under the trade name IP Gear. Qualmax remains a key member of the New World Brands Family of Companies, provisioning all reputable brands of network hardware to augment the possibilities available to NWBD clients.
NWBD also re-organized the telecom division of Qualmax, previously operated under the name IP Gear Connect (formerly known as iNode), into NWB Telecom, now a division of NWBD. Catering to a select group of preferred clients seeking an affordable shift to carrier-grade VoIP, NWBD has years of expertise successfully handling VoIP network build-outs, especially in developing nations. The relationships NWBD has formed with strategic in-country partners enables NWB Telecom to enhance the portfolios of our carrier customers by offering wholesale origination and termination to hundreds of locations around the globe.
In 2007, NWBD entered into an exclusive partnership with TELES Communications Systems, headquartered in Germany, and launched TELES USA, also a division of NWBD. Manufacture and development of the IP Gear line of gateway products was simultaneously transferred to TELES Germany.
The mission of TELES USA is to introduce TELES products, including MCG and IP TDM softswitches, high and small density media gateways, access gateways, IMS interworking and Prepaid applications to discerning business clients in the Americas. TELES USA’s next-generation networking (NGN) solutions, access servers, core solutions and support options are remarkably well suited to the service provider client due to myriad attractive features and a highly scalable architecture that includes applications for SME and enterprise environments.
The New World Brands Family of Companies preserves the benefits of specialization while embracing the panoply of evolving IP technologies. Our multifaceted approach to IP enables new worlds of convergence for our customers, increasing the profitability of our client base by minimizing the expense and inconvenience frequently associated with VoIP migration.
We look forward to a future of introducing the most innovative, best-in-class IP technology products and services to a growing number of businesses in the Americas, providing tremendous value for the shareholders of NWBD and for each and every customer of The New World Brands Family of Companies.
