EML has been appointed as exclusive distributor for Crown in the Dutch market, in close cooperation with present distributor Iemke Roos Audio BV. EML NV, recently acquired by the German Audio Export Group, is an important distributor in the Belgium market, representing brands such as JBL, DOD/Digitech and Focusrite. Peter de Fouw, general manager of EML, commented: "Obtaining the distribution rights for Crown in the Dutch market is a welcome and logical step for EML. It is fully in line with our strategy for the Benelux region. Knowledge of theproduct, but also the knowledge of the Dutch market will enable EML to create maximum synergy from a larger market.Goal is to use the strong logistic and marketing position of the whole Audio Export Group to continue the position of Crown in the Dutch market, and where possible to enforce."

Gineke van Urk, general manager of Iemke Roos Audio, commented: "The route the Harman Pro Group, to which Crown belongs, is taking, is not in line with the character of Iemke Roos. It is partially our decision to go our own way. It is with regret that we say goodbye to Crown after so many years, but it is the best decision for both parties. Besides this, Iemke Roos has acquired some very good alternatives in the product range."

The transfer of distribution is effective from 14 October 2002. Iemke Roos Audio will continue to be responsible for Crown service until 30 June 2003.
