"Phonic's success in the US in the past few years outgrew our standalone Tampa office," says Stephen Wang, Phonic's chairman and CEO: "and prompted us to search for a local partner able to provide even greater support and faster fulfillment to users. American Music & Sound was chosen for its track record of brand development and its established distribution network that covers not only musical instruments but also the installed market. Phonic looks forward to expanding our US distribution with a trusted partner in American Music & Sound."
Chris Griffiths, division manager for musical instruments at AM&S adds: "Phonic is a perfect fit with American Music and Sound's infrastructure to serve both the MI and Pro Audio constituents in the United States. We look forward to combining our broad capabilities with Phonic's excellent reputation, aggressive pricing, innovative offerings, and growth trajectory."
