Already a pro audio/music speaker brand throughout Europe, the addition of the 'Audio Contractor' range places FBT in the market for contracts and installations for PA, VA and AV.
CIE-Group - representatives for many of the UK's leading commercial audio brands including Inter-M, Armstrong i-ceilings, Atlas Sound, IC audio and EverFocus CCTV - will be undertaking a nationwide launch of the complete product range throughout the spring of this year.
CIE-Group head of marketing, Chris Edwards is highly enthusiastic about the announcement, saying: "The appointment of FBT Audio Contractor is an essential part of our product development programme to access an even greater scale of high specification PA, VA and AV systems. Alongside our current market leading brands, FBT brings a whole new range of advanced technology 100v line and low impedance branded products to the market at a time when product development in Europe has been significantly diminished due to the effects of RoHS on manufacturers last year."
Antonio Faccioni, FBT Audio Contractor Division Manager, added: "The Audio Contractor range is a new enterprise for FBT with much potential for growth in the European market. We have already seen great success here in Italy and mainland Europe and we now see CIE-Group as being the ideal partner to bring further success in the UK."
February sees the release of the brand new FBT Audio Contractor catalogue, together with a newly developed, UK-specific website. The new range includes a series of integrated and modular VA systems, conference systems, high power multi-channel 100V line and low Z amplifiers and a complete range of FBT music speakers.
