Europe - Avolites has announced three new distributors in key European countries – Austria and Norway, plus Serbia and the other Balkan countries of Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania.
Avolites’ managing director, Paul Wong, commented: “We have been working hard to boost our distributor network with new strategic partnerships worldwide and are thrilled to warmly welcome these three new distributor partners in Austria, Norway & Serbia and The Balkans. They will enhance our commitment to users in Europe and the Balkans and continue our strategy to strengthen the Avolites brand’s global presence.”
In Austria, Signal, a Robe distributor for several years, is taking on the Avolites distributorship. “Distributing Avolites really makes sense regarding turnkey solutions where before we could only offer lighting fixtures,” commented Signal’s sales manager, Markus Rathmair, alluding to the natural synergy between the Avolites and Robe brands.
“We want to bring Avolites back to the market with the great new products they are launching,” he confirmed, adding that they also see massive potential for the greater integration of lighting and video control utilising Avolites’ media servers in conjunction with their consoles. Signal already has two lighting salespeople working on the Avolites brand.
Prostage, based in Oslo, became a Robe distributor in the last 12 months. The company considers Avolites a great addition to strengthen its already impressive portfolio of quality brands. Their sales manager Carl August Tidemann thinks the ‘co-branding’ with Robe is a bonus that will enable a full package of leading lighting products to be offered to their client base.
“The products are innovative and well-designed,” he confirms, stating that they are very enthusiastic about the new D7-215 in particular. He believes that Norway will be excited by the prospect of Avolites and the partnership with Prostage.
Belgrade, Serbia-based sales company Light and Sound Design D.O.O. (LSD) became Robe’s exclusive distributor for Serbia and Kosovo in 2023 and will now also be distributing Avolites in these territories plus Montenegro, and – with new agreements made – North Macedonia, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina basically covering a large portion of the vibrant Balkans region.
“It is vital for us to offer a complete range of solutions for professional users from all lighting sectors, and now we can offer both premium fixtures and control systems,” stated LSD’s Milan Scepanovic.
LSD has already had success with Arena, Tiger Touch 2, Quartz and T3. “And customers totally get the potential of having access to Titan, Synergy, Prism and Capture software packages through investment in extremely cost-effective T2 and T1 dongles,” he states.
