Powersoft has appointed Mennegat Trading to support its fixed install and rental staging series of amplifier platforms in the Netherlands.

Mennegat Trading brings 20 years’ experience and a focus on audio and a strong partner network of integrators and installers, supplying 100 of the top Dutch system integrators and contractors, and serving corporate buildings and sports venues. The company also supplies wholesale to A/V rental companies and electrical installers.

Powersoft requires it distributors to act as an effective extension of the manufacturer in the territory.

‘Mennegat has a very personal approach and the relationship has been rewarding from the start,’ says Powersoft ESA Regional Account Manager, Stefano Previtali. ‘The decision to work with Mennegat is due to the company’s focus on specific brands that complement our rack amplifiers, its a high quality of communication, and a fast and professional manner.

‘Mennegat also invests a lot of time and resource into training, a valuable activity for our advanced platforms in many markets. The final deciding factor is the company’s promotional activity – Mennegat supports an interesting network of regional distributors and this revolutionary approach grants quality and common goals to the entire process.’

Mennegat is the exclusive distributors of Apart Audio and Community Professional in the Dutch market, and we were looking for an amplifier brand capable of handling high-power applications,’ adds Mennegat MD, Ferdi van den Berg. ‘The multi-zone installation projects we deal with require flexibility in installation, economic use of power and optimal third-party integration, and Powersoft's Duecanali, Quattrocanali and Ottocanali Series’ meet these needs.

‘One major benefit that is bringing a big opportunity is the ability to individually select channels at either 100V or low-impedance. Powersoft as a Green Audio Power technology is another, giving us access to tenders where high importance is given to sustainability and power waste. For these reasons as well as the connectivity with ethernet connections, Dante interface and drivers for third party manufacturers such as Q-Sys, Crestron and AMX, Powersoft is the perfect product for our mix.’

‘Powersoft’s philosophy is about “making ordinary extraordinary”, and Mennegat Trading perfectly aligns with this, so we very much look forward to working with them,’ Previtali concludes.
