He continued, "Sennheiser has a reputation for working in the high-end segment of the market and our operation in the audio sector has garnered good relationships with installers all over Sweden. Sennheiser AB has also been working in the audiology sector for more than 20 years as a distributor of Siemens' hearing instruments. This means we can start work with Ampetronic immediately from our current customer network and distribution channels."
Both Wollin and Ampetronic's founder Leon Pieters believe there is a growing market for loop systems in Sweden that is driven by legislation. "There is an increasing requirement for spoken alarms as well as traditional alarm systems within public spaces," continues Wollin. "And with train stations, subways, bus terminals, shopping malls and many different kinds of public buildings adopting this approach, this market can expand further."
Ampetronic and Sennheiser had their first experience of working together at the LLB show - an association of audio, lighting and imaging companies specifically for the Swedish market. Leon Pieters was in attendance giving seminars on the principles of induction loop system design. "We are very happy that Leon has taken the time to come here," concluded Wollin. "He is a very competent person and has founded a company that is the market leader. The technology Leon has introduced, and that has been used in Ampetronic's products for a long time, is only now coming into other products. Leon's presence at LLB has helped to give confidence to our customers in both his products and the manufacturer behind them."
