Lab.gruppen has announced that from July 1st, all Lab.gruppen and Lake products will be supplied and supported directly by the company in the UK. The decision to create Lab.gruppen UK is not taken lightly. Claus Behrens, Lab.gruppen’s European Sales Manager explains. “This move is a positive reinforcement of the considerable efforts made by the former UK distributor, Audioforce. In the past two years Lab.gruppen and Audioforce have worked together with major UK rental and installation market customers in the design and implementation of new products, new design practices and system configurations, so we have actually been directly involved in the UK market for some time. Lab.gruppen UK is a logical extension of those activities.”
Indeed, Lab.gruppen products have enjoyed considerable success in the UK market and the company hopes that this move will further strengthen the relationship between UK customers and the factory. News of the appointment of a UK Sales Manager is imminent and further details of the UK operation will be released forthwith. All existing dealers and sales arrangements will remain in place.
Tim Pollard, CEO of Audioforce and parent company PAXT stated, “It has been a pleasure working with Lab.gruppen over the past 2 years. We believe that distributing Lab.gruppen directly from Sweden is the correct choice at the current time due to the significant swing in the Euro. Naturally we will support Lab.gruppen moving forward and will continue to carry the line as a main dealer. It is a premium brand that we are delighted to work with.”
