Kinesys confirms new Singapore distributor
- Details
The move underlines the increased trend for motion control and movement systems becoming a visual element of live shows, events and spectaculars.
Kinesys MD Dave Weatherhead said: “There’s been a surge of interest in Kinesys in Asia generally in the last two to three years, and the timing of this deal is perfect for us to capitalize on this and increase our brand exposure and market share. Total Solution is a strong company that is well-established and respected, and we’re looking forward to a very positive working relationship.”
Total Solution was founded by Glenn Wong in 1998 and works with a number of premium lighting, rigging and AV brands across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
Glenn commented: “The interest in Kinesys in particular has grown in the last three years and we’ve had inquiries from numerous customers and potential clients as more productions are using more complex movement systems to create WOW factors for their shows.”
He has actually been aware of and watching Kinesys for some time, and was waiting for the right time to get involved more proactively from a sales angle.
Total Solution is far more than just a sales operation; the company prides itself in proper training, advanced product profiling and having an excellent general backup, service and support infrastructure - which was instrumental in cementing the deal with Kinesys.
Total Solution and Kinesys have already been seen in action in Singapore since the agreement was signed, supporting the National Day Parade on 9 August and Total Solution has also received training from Kinesys’ director of support and training Martin Honeywill.
Dave Weatherhead also attended the regional ProAVL trade expo in the summer to further underline support.
“Dave, Martin and everyone I have met and spoken to who is involved with Kinesys are nice, straight-talking and highly intelligent” commented Glenn, “They are great people with which to do business.”
