Merging Technologies has announced that from 1 November 2012, Amptec bvba has assumed distribution responsibilities for the Belgian market. Amptec has offices in Netherlands as well but the distribution in that country remains with Maarten Sound & Vision, a Merging partner of many years' standing.
Amptec is well known in the installation sector but is also a significant supplier to the broadcast and recording markets. This profile fits the Merging product range very well and mirrors the changing product mix coming from the famous Swiss brand,says the company.
This change brings to an end a partnership with Puretec which has withdrawn from professional audio. Amptec handles a wide range of other brands including RAVENNA partners Lawo and Innovason.
Commenting on the change, Chris Hollebone, Merging's distribution sales manager stated, "Merging is excited to be working with a company like Amptec that has made a significant investment in value added and customer support programmes. Even though there are some competitive brands, the company has a reputation of giving the clients what they want and offering packages that make sense.
"Amptec is strong in each market sector where Merging has products and we can look forward to a significant growth in sales in coming months."
Harald Vanherf, Amptec's sales director added his perspective, "Merging Technologies is one of those brands that we have admired for a long time and we really welcome the opportunity to develop the market in Belgium. With superb products like Horus, Ovation and Pyramix, as well as specialist items like MXFix and VCube, we feel confident that we can do a great job."
