Avolites has announced three new distributors in key European countries – Austria and Norway, plus Serbia and the other Balkan countries of Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania.
Avolites’ Managing Director, Paul Wong, commented, “We have been working hard to boost our distributor network with new strategic partnerships worldwide and are thrilled to warmly welcome these three new distributor partners in Austria, Norway & Serbia and The Balkans. They will enhance our commitment to users in Europe and the Balkans and continue our strategy to strengthen the Avolites brand’s global presence.”
Signal, distributing Avolites in Austria, has been a Robe distributor for several years and is delighted to take on the Avolites distributorship. “Distributing Avolites really makes sense regarding turnkey solutions where before we could only offer lighting fixtures,” commented Signal’s sales manager, Markus Rathmair.
“We want to bring Avolites back to the market with the great new products they are launching,” he confirmed, adding that they also see massive potential for the greater integration of lighting and video control utilising Avolites’ media servers in conjunction with their consoles.
Signal already has two lighting salespeople working on the Avolites brand, and customers will also enjoy all the benefits of their excellent after-sales service and support.
Prostage, based in Oslo, became a Robe distributor in the last 12 months.
The company considers Avolites a great addition to strengthen its portfolio of quality brands. Their sales manager Carl August Tidemann thinks the ‘co-branding’ with Robe is a great bonus that will enable a full package of leading lighting products to be offered to their client base. He echoes the belief that Avolites products will be an equally great option for installations or touring and rental / staging worlds.
“The products are innovative and well-designed,” he confirmed. He believes that Norway will be excited by the prospect of Avolites and the partnership with Prostage.
The Prostage team also sees a growing convergence between lighting and video control and the need to tap into quick and powerful intuitive control for both. They will also have a combined sales department dedicated to both Avolites and Robe.
Belgrade, Serbia-based sales company Light and Sound Design (LSD) became Robe’s exclusive distributor for Serbia and Kosovo in 2023 and will now also be distributing Avolites in these territories plus Montenegro, and North Macedonia, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina basically covering a large portion of the dynamic and vibrant Balkans region.
LSD’s initiative and proactivity in introducing premium brands and technology to this fast-developing market was one of many aspects uniting LSD and Robe in business and spirit, and now there is great enthusiasm for Avolites being added to that equation.
“It is vital for us to offer a complete range of solutions for professional users from all lighting sectors, and now we can offer both premium fixtures and control systems,” stated LSD’s Milan Scepanovic.
He noted that they have already received positive feedback regarding the Avolites and Robe partnership and “expect more integration and developments in the future”. Scepanovic feels that Avo’s rep is as one of the most reliable and stable control systems on the market, and he knows that many customers from the Balkans are already acquainted with the OS.
LSD has already had great success with Arena, Tiger Touch 2, Quartz and T3. “And customers totally get the potential of having access to Titan, Synergy, Prism and Capture software packages through investment in extremely cost effective T2 and T1 dongles,” he enthused.
He sees Avo as a “great fit for freelance lighting and video designers, rental companies, TV studios, theatres, clubs, production companies and even bands with their own lighting equipment.
