AMSTERDAM – Shortly before the ISE show here, Bosch Communications Systems invited its international distribution partners to a distributors’ meeting held at the the Pakhuis de Zwijger, a center now used for meetings that was originally built as warehouse space.
More details from Bosch/Electro-Voice (www.electro-voice.com):
Kamil Swobodzinski, Vice President Sales Communication EMEA, and his sales team were pleased to welcome to the Pakhuis de Zwijger more than 150 business partners from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The agenda included an update on business developments, a look ahead to the coming year, and the unveiling of new products. An effective multimedia presentation was chosen this year as a means of introducing the latest innovations from Dynacord and Electro-Voice. Since the official launch of the new products is scheduled for the Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt in March, this part of the program was followed with particularly keen attention.
Another highlight of the distributor meeting was the presentation of the “Distributor of the Year” awards. In the course of a gala dinner in the events facilities of St. Olof’s, prizes in various categories were presented to ten different companies. Signal Sound & Light Distribution GmbH (Austria) and Prosonic General Trading LLC (United Arab Emirates) received the “Distributor of the Year“ awards, respectively, for Europe, and the Middle East and Africa.
The Distributor of the Year award for Europe went to Signal, from Austria.
