For the present, Strand says its products will be supplied to European customers from Strand's US and Hong Kong warehouses, with customer service being carried out in the Strand Lighting Inc facility in Cypress, California. Technical Support is once again available in Europe for all Strand products, and will be provided by field service technicians under contract to Strand Lighting Inc (see contact details below). Further support for project planning and commissioning will, for the time being, be provided by Strand Lighting Inc application engineers and field service technicians.
At the same time, Strand Lighting Inc has announced the appointment Barndoor BV as European sales representative. Barndoor BV is hiring experienced sales people to represent Strand Lighting in the European marketplace. Strand Lighting Inc says it will "sell directly to dealers, rental companies and certain end customers, with Barndoor acting purely as a factory representative".
Strand Lighting Inc will be exhibiting at the PLASA show in London (10-13 September), where the company plans to introduce a number of new products. "We plan to have a full team on hand to meet new and old friends, answer questions, show off new products and, above all, demonstrate our commitment to serving the European market," says the company.
