USA - Mach Speakers and the Pro Audio Group of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc have formed a strategic alliance aimed at increasing brand awareness for both companies' products. The agreement joins together the Mach speaker brand with a leader in digital entertainment technology in a group sales and marketing effort that will give greater visibility to the Mach and Pioneer product lines while strengthening Martin's Total Club Supplier concept in the US market.

For Mach, the alliance allows the company to co-market Pioneer products alongside its own range of speakers, adding another established, professional brand to the Total Club Supplier, one-stop shop concept. The Total Club Supplier concept enables clients to procure Mach audio, Martin lighting, and Jem smoke in one convenient package. Mach will now be able to add a vast line of Pioneer digital entertainment products to its audio, lighting and smoke solutions.

The alliance gives Pioneer the ability to offer the Total Club Supplier concept as well. Pioneer will also benefit through the use of Mach speakers at exhibitions, regional shows and other events.David Sullivan, Mach segment manager in the US, stated: "We strongly support this exciting and positive move to form a strategic partnership with Pioneer in the US. It has great potential not only for us, but for our customers to truly benefit from our one-stop shop Total Club Supplier concept."
