Tecnica Vidal chooses Robe
- Details
The company has 20 full time employees and supplies the full range of technical production services, encompassing lighting, audio, video, staging, rigging and power, a ‘single-source’ solution business model that has proved very successful. Their specialist areas are concert touring, festivals, music shows and rental / staging, and they also have a healthy roster of corporate clients and event venues.
The first Robe investment was made in 2011 / 2012 when the brand was still emerging in Argentina. This was the first year of Robe’s partnership with Buenos Aires based TSD Group as a distributor.
Miguel had heard about Robe before he invested, mainly through travelling outside the country, but it was when TSD Group became a part of the Robe family that he really started to check it out more seriously. His relationship with TSD and COO Daniel Lema goes back to the 1990s.
The first Robe purchase was MMX Spots, and he now has close to 150 fixtures in rental stock, the most recent purchases being 36 x BMFL WashBeams and 24 x Spiiders. They also have Pointes, LEDWash 600s and LEDForce 18 PARs.
The new BMFL WashBeams and Spiiders immediately went out on a number of different shows including concerts in the west of the country by Italian superstar Zucchero, UK rockers The Cult and Colombian singer Maluma for which Tecnica Vidal was the technical supplier.
Miguel first saw the BMFL in action on the famous Mendoza National Grape Harvest Festival two years ago and was blown-away with its power and features.
