Studiomaster has signed a major MI and pro audio retail distribution agreement with EMD Music, covering Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Switzerland.
The agreement, with one of Europe’s largest MI and pro audio retail distributors, follows a number of successive years’ growth for Studiomaster’s European export business from its Milton Keynes HQ.
‘We have being growing our European market share significantly,’ confirms General Manager, Patrick Almond, ‘Particularly in the last two years, when the rate of increase began accelerating to a point where it became clear that we needed to find a suitable partner with the presence on the ground to sustain further expansion. The search for the partner that could effectively support us across all of these territories, and provide us with the necessary market exposure to continue our growth strategy and fulfil our targets, led us to EMD Music.’
The agreement covers Studiomaster’s comprehensive range of analogue and digital mixers, entry-level and mid-market self-powered and passive PA and installation loudspeaker solutions, portable PA systems, and the range of Carlsbro CSD electronic drum kits. With the first shipments arriving in its 12,000sq-m warehousing facility imminently, the agreement significantly broadens EMD Music’s PA offering to European retailers.
‘Studiomaster is a great British heritage brand with so much history the world of music entertainment. It is the perfect line that we have been looking for, to expand our business in the PA sector,’ says EMD Group Sales Director, Serge Alsteens.
