German manufacturer of A/V presentation and conferencing solutions Kindermann is expanding its international footprint with the appointment of York-based Tukans as its distributor for the UK and Ireland.

The company is currently undergoing a transformation that not only includes rebranding but a renewed focus on international expansion. ‘Our strength in our home market of Germany is built on innovative products and solutions backed by a team of experts,’ says Kindermann Head of International Sales, Romano Cunsolo.

‘Customers in international markets will benefit greatly from our product offering but this requires support from strong local partners that share the Kindermann ethos. With Tukans, I now have such a partner for two key European markets’.

Established in 1861, Kindermann has a strong claim to being the oldest professional A/V manufacturer in the world. Its current product line-up features wireless presentation systems, interactive flat panel displays and connectivity solutions.

‘Our partnership with Kindermann now allows integrators in the UK and Ireland to offer their clients some of the best meeting room technologies currently available’ says Tukans Sales Director, Simon Druce. ‘The Klick&Show range of wireless presentation and collaboration kits are already exciting our customers with the ease of use and high performance compared to competitor products.’

‘Success in business is built on personal relationships, and the Tukans and Kindermann teams appear to have a great bond already,’ says Tukans MD, Stuart Thomson. ‘A notable example is Simon stepping in, without hesitation, as a last-minute replacement on the Kindermann team for the local Eibelstadt inter-company road running race whilst on a recent visit to Germany.’

Along with Klick&Show, Kindermann’s range of up to 86-inch touch displays is shipping immediately from Tukans’ UK distribution centre.
