With the advent of the CALM Act, RTW has acknowledged the importance of the US marketplace for its loudness metering tools, and has expand its operations and customer reach in the United States.
The new operation – RTW International, Corp – is the first US venture from the German company, which specialises in visual audio meters and monitoring for professional broadcast, production, postproduction and quality control.
It will house all customer service, repair and final product assembly activities for US RTW customers, reducing product delivery lead times. To lead the office, RTW has hired Christopher Spahr as Director of Sales & Operations. In this new role, Spahr will oversee all brand, sales and market development in the United States. In addition, Werner Haase, from the RTW development team in Cologne, will join Spahr in Lancaster, overseeing product service and final assembly.
‘The goal for the new facility in Lancaster is to focus our efforts on the US market,’ says RTW CEO, Andreas Tweitmann. ‘Not only does this help us support our growing network of dealers (led by Group One), but it benefits our end-users, as we will be able to provide the best services and availability of products possible.
‘With Christopher heading up the team, we will be able to stay in close contact with all of the dealers in this network, helping them to understand and anticipate current and future needs of the North American market so that we can produce devices specifically for US needs.’
