Elation partners with Panou for distribution in Greece
- Details
Panou SA, with roots dating back to its foundation in Athens in 1964, has long been a pioneer in the electronics and audio-visual technology industry. Over the decades, the company has experienced exponential growth and has established itself as a prominent player in the professional lighting market. Notably, Panou SA has evolved into one of Greece's premier companies for system integration.
The collaboration between Panou and Elation began in 2019 with Panou’s successful distribution of Obsidian Control Systems products. Building on this success, the new agreement cements Elation Professional as the exclusive lighting brand in Panou's portfolio, encompassing a wide range of products.
Vasilis Vlahos, sales director at Panou, comments: “The partnership with Elation was a natural progression following our successful collaboration with Obsidian lighting control solutions and Netron data distribution products. To seize this exciting opportunity, we are expanding our lighting and design team and are housing an extensive inventory of demo gear and stock to meet the growing demands of the rental market in Greece.”
Jonas Stenvinkel, international sales manager at Elation Professional, adds: "Panou is well-known in the market and is a name synonymous with top-quality service and innovative solutions. We look forward to expanding our lighting distribution network across Greece and are excited about the company’s renewed focus and investment in the lighting market. Greece is a country with a vibrant hospitality and entertainment sector and we look forward to working together with Panou to establish Elation as a go-to brand.”
Michael Kontogiannis, a seasoned lighting professional with a long-standing tenure in Panous lighting department since 2004, emphasises the partnership's potential benefits. He states: “We are confident that this partnership will be beneficial for both Panou and lighting professionals in the Greek market. Elation offers a wide range of high-quality products both for indoor and outdoor use and Panou is known for choosing its partners wisely while having a reputation for excellent after-sales support.”
The distribution agreement with Panou supplants any other Elation distribution agreement in Greece. Elation has worked under full transparency with its former distributor and thanks them for their dedication and promotion of the Elation brand in the region.
