SALZBRENNER STAGETEC MEDIAGROUP Expands Distribution Network

New Distributors in Greece and the Middle East

Buttenheim, November 2006: The SALZBRENNER STAGETEC MEDIAGROUP is expanding its network of distributors. Philippos Nakas Co. in Greece and Tamor Co. Ltd. in Saudi Arabia will now be heading up distribution for the south-east Mediterranean and the Middle East. Both companies joined the MEDIAGROUP distribution network in June of this year.

Based in Athens, Philippos Nakas Co. is the largest music house in Greece with 200 employees and annual sales of approximately 30 million Euros. It is the only Greek company in the music, sound and lighting industry that is listed on the Athens stock exchange. One division of the company, with 64 branches, of which 24 are franchises, focuses on the sale of musical instruments and consumer electronics. A parallel division is focused on systems contracting and pro audio technology sales. Starting this August, Nakas will take over the distribution of the entire MEDIAGROUP product line for Greece and Cyprus. This line includes not only consoles and routers, but also PA systems and media technology. Nakas is equally focused on the various segments of the pro audio market, including broadcasting, production, live and fixed installations. “The MEDIAGROUP product line stands for top-of-the-line quality audio products while meeting the demands of just about any application range thanks to its enormous flexibility. We are excited about working with a company whose product line fits so perfectly with the wide ranging needs of our client base” states Kostas Giokas, marketing and sales manager at Nakas.

Tamor Trading & Contracting Co. Ltd. is a technical consultancy and trading company in the business fields of TV and radio, sound reinforcement, and recording. Tamor was founded by a group of esteemed consultant engineers and is headquartered in Riyadh. From the dynamic capitol city of Saudi Arabia, the 5-employees company provides full service for its clients, ranging from project planning and distribution all the way to systems contracting and turnkey solutions. Regarding the MEDIAGROUP products, Tamor will focus primarily on television and radio broadcasting, while also setting its sights on the growing events market in the Middle East. “The middle-eastern countries offer significant growth opportunities for manufacturers of pro audio technology, since they have just started seeing the benefits of moving from analog to digital,” explains Günther Schneider, MEDIAGROUP regional sales manager, “we want to take advantage of these opportunities.”
