Dusseldorf, 8th of November 2013
Formed to address the ever-changing needs of the German pro audio market, new distribution company United Brands for Event Technology, or united-b as it will be known, opened its doors on 1st November. And it has the world's leading digital audio solutions manufacturer, DiGiCo, as its inaugural brand.
Headed up by Wolfgang Gar on, previously managing director of atlantic audio, united-b's team, has extensive knowledge of the pro audio industry and will focus on specialised, hands-on support for its customers, ensuring they always get the best solution for every project, whether it be concert touring, live event, broadcast, temporary or fixed installation.
We're very excited about this new operation and delighted that we already have DiGiCo, one of pro audio's most well-respected brands, in our portfolio, says Wolfgang. As we gain momentum, we will take on other well-known names, all of which will be companies that we have known and trusted for many years. This gives us the confidence to know that we are providing exactly what our customers need and that we can give them, and our brands, the service they truly deserve.
James Gordon, Managing Director of DiGiCo, is encouraged by this new approach to distribution model and the opportunities it offers DiGiCo customers in the German market.
The most important element of a new collaboration is confidence, says James. It's the basis of an successful cooperation. We have known Wolfgang for many years. He championed DiGiCo when we first entered the German pro audio market and was instrumental in our success there, which has been considerable.
The thing that differentiates Wolfgang's new venture is that he won't be sitting behind a desk all day; he'll be out there, talking to people and gaining an even better understanding of the challenges they face on a day-to-day basis.
DiGiCo has always prided itself on listening to its customers, producing products that really do reflect their needs and providing great after-sales support, either directly or via our distributors, so it's important for us to have this kind of direct access to the market. Working with Wolfgang and his team, will ensure that we are able to do that.
