"By working alongside RMB, I am certain that Clay Paky will become an increasingly visible brand in the Philippine market and surrounding regions," said Massimo Bolandrina, Clay Paky sales manager for the region. "This relationship has come about as the result of RMB's regular use of Clay Paky products on a number of high profile projects in the region and the excellent product support the company offers to its clients."
Clay Paky's fixtures are no strangers to the Philippine entertainment industry. The manufacturer partnered with RMB Lights and Sounds in 2011 to bring Clay Paky's popular Sharpy fixture to several major. In 2012 Clay Paky fixtures supported the expertise of lighting designer Ms Skakira Villa Symes at New Year's events with the Republiq Club Resort, the Tanduay RockFest at the SM Mall of Asia and the Requiem Concert at the NBC Tent.
"I've always been impressed with the innovation, quality, and feature sets of the products plus the backup service I've received from the Clay Paky team," says Mercedes L. Rufino, RMB's vice president and marketing director of RMB.
Rufino has been specifying the Clay Paky product on RMB projects since 2010 and comments, "There's no doubt that Clay Paky fixtures offer exactly the type of product our market is crying out for. The construction quality, reliability and performance of the fixtures are second to none."
Originally named Nictron Marketing, RMB Lights and Sounds has been a wholesale provider of special lamps for television studios and projector lamps since 2000. In 2002, the company started importing audio equipment and entertainment lighting while opening the company's first store at Raon, Quiapo, the electronics capital of the Philippines.
