Annual review at Stage Tec largely positive

Annual review at Stage Tec largely positive posted: 16/12/2015

This financial year at Stage Tec was characterized by good sales figures for all mixing consoles. We shipped the AURUS Platinum, CRESCENDO and ON AIR flex in double-digit quantities in 2015. An acceptable result for such a turbulent year, Ren Harder, member of the board in Berlin remarked.

The Berlin manufacturers three main mixing console series were pretty much neck and neck in terms of sales, which Harder sees as evidence for the product lines adaptability to customer requirements: From the small, flexible ON AIR flex to CRESCENDO to the large AURUS Platinum, we offer the right size and complexity for each application. The NEXUS routing system is another bestseller and is used as an independent audio network or combined with the mixing consoles.

These products have been shipped to ten countries on four continents. In addition to Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where buyers were somewhat conservative this year, China headed the sales statistics as a major market for the mixing consoles and routers from Berlin. Malaysia, Russia, Poland, the USA and Australia were also markets for Stage Tec products in 2015.

Reflecting on the difficult restructuring phase that Stage Tec underwent in 2015, Harder said: We would like to thank our customers for the loyalty that is evidenced by our good sales figures. The entire company, which has grown even closer this year, highly appreciates the confidence our customers place in us, and as a thank you is announcing big plans with trendsetting developments for the New Year. Youre in for a surprise!

At the end of the year, Stage Tec wishes a Merry Christmas and a happy and exciting 2016 to all customers, supporters and employees.
