In the last 18 months, 5 Star has supplied over 3700 Pro440 cases, all finished in a striking red laminate. When Pioneer recently launched a Limited Edition 'piano black' CDJ-400 and DJM-400 featuring cool blue LED illumination, Paul Beardsall of Pioneer Europe NV, once again contacted 5 Star, wanting a new look case to compliment this special equipment release.
An initial order of 1000 blue cases was delivered to Pioneer's Belgian distribution facility in Melsele in early November, followed by a further 2000 units, scheduled for dispatch between December 2009 and January 2010. The option for a final delivery of more units will be made in February, bringing the Limited Edition campaign to a close.
Paul Beardsall comments, "It's always extremely easy working with a manufacturer like 5 Star. From the initial brief they quickly provide samples, whether it's material swatches or complete cases. This gives us a turnkey facility that very few - if any -other case manufacturers can match."
