Belgium - EventCom is a specialist in the provision and rental of AV equipment based in Gembloux, in French-speaking Belgium, managed by director Thomas Richard.
The company has invested in a number of Robe mobile lighting products, including the newest iFORTES and Esprites.
EventCom has also just completed a new extension to their warehouse and offices, which will triple their operational space to 2,600sq.m of storage and 600sq.m of office space. This will allow EventCom to operate more efficiently and grow as planned over the coming years.
“Robe is the top brand right with an excellent range of fixtures and a great reputation for reliability and value,” stated Thomas, whose first purchase was 24 x MegaPointes in 2021 which have worked constantly ever since.
“Getting MegaPointes really did have that much impact, they were that much in demand,” he says, adding that all their subsequent Robe purchases have had a similar ripple effect.
Another 40 MegaPointes quickly joined the rental fleet and continue to be one of the most universally specified Robe luminaires for designs across all sectors.
Other purchases have included LEDBeam 150s, Spiiders and TetraXs, and most recently the batch of powerful iFORTES which arrived ready for the summer season, as well as the mid-sized Esprites which arrived last year and continue to arrive this year.
EventCom has standing orders for Robe machines, as soon as some are delivered, others are still on order. Thomas considers both iFORTES and Esprites “real workhorses for which there are no other comparable equivalents”.
Thomas and EventCom’s administrative director Mélanie Lucchina are always on the lookout for new technologies, and at Benelux distributor Controllux, their account is managed by Mattias Ternoot who ensures they stay updated with what’s new.
Thomas underlines that solid supplier relationships are integral to this overall process. “I look for good partners who share our values and who, like us, are always pushing to improve the quality of the service we can deliver or to be more innovative, and Robe ticks all these boxes.”
He concludes by saying that he wants to make Robe an essential brand for EventCom and the events market.
