Akusta, the UK’s leading line of PA/GA and other life safety systems, has appointed Aberdeen-based Dron & Dickson as its GL industrial loudspeakers distributor for the Scottish offshore oil and gas industry. The move now enables Akusta to service the entire North Sea oil and gas industry following the appointment earlier this year of Profitek AS as its Norway distributor.

The two to 25W range of GL high performance loudspeakers are available in heavy-duty horn, GRP (glass reinforced plastic) and self powered versions. A safe area version for marine and industrial applications is also available. Paul Clark, Akusta’s European industrial sales manager, said: "We now have a presence in the strategically important North Sea market. The focus for both distributors will be stocking products for upgrades and new installation contracts."

Akusta is part of Federal Signal Ltd, a subsidiary of the US-based Federal Signal Corporation, which currently has sales in excess of $1 billion per annum. In the UK, the company manufactures bespoke and off-the-shelf PA/VA and general alarm (GA) solutions under the industry-leading Millbank and Akusta brands.

The company provides comprehensive design phase consultancy, flexible lead times plus technical and maintenance support services with the capability to meet the requirements of global projects. A full range of accessories is also available including paging microphones, beacons, sirens and loudspeakers.
