VUE Russia will provide local customers full access to VUE's US, Asian and German staff, products and technical offerings that include high definition network ready loudspeakers and line array systems, and system integration tools. The office will offer all VUE branded products in Russia, as well as Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.
Nikolai Vorobev, brand manager for Russia and CIS will head the VUE Russia team. The team also includes systems engineers Denis Kaverin and Andrew Zhelamskiy. The team will be working directly with VUE's Greg Kirkland who heads up technical sales in the US, and Mike Adams who runs VUE's worldwide engineering department. Holger Kuno De Buhr from German-based VUE Europa will supervise coordination of all sales programs.
"Our Moscow-based team, enhanced with factory support, will be able to provide world class support, similar to that currently available in Europe and the US," explains Vorobev. "The response has been extremely positive, and together with our customers, we're looking forward to rapid growth of VUE's share of the market in the region.
"Russian stock along with the close proximity of VUE's factory in China, logistically enables us to reduce delivery times, as well as provide faster technical support and service," continues Vorobev.
"Opening our Russian office is a significant step in VUE's commitment to better serve the territory and expand our regional business footprint," says VUE Audiotechnik CEO Ken Berger. "We are very excited to bring VUE's technical expertise and products to support the growth of the Russian professional audio industry."
