The new operation, known as Midas Consoles Benelux, operates from divisions based in Apeldoorn in Holland, and Zaventem in Belgium.
"Our successful and focussed Midas and Klark Teknik distribution model proved its success in Holland, and together with the UK headquarters, we have taken it to the next level," says managing director Axel Nagtegaal. "During the course of this summer, both divisions will become fully operational business units working closely but autonomously."
Midas Consoles Benelux also incorporates Dryhire.eu, set up to offer dry hire support to the international event and touring production industry throughout Europe, including rentals of the Midas XL8 live performance system, analogue consoles and Klark Teknik signal processing equipment.
The first public appearance for Midas Consoles Benelux will be at the Audiovisual Creative Fair 2007 exhibition in Brussels in November.
