This appointment consolidates TCGI's relationship with the French distribution company, who have enjoyed a long-standing successful relationship with Lab.gruppen and Lake in France (both of which are also part of the TC Group of companies). The new business agreement to distribute Tannoy commences with immediate effect, and DV2 will be taking the opportunity to represent the renowned UK loudspeaker brand formally for the first time at the SIEL show in Paris on 29-30 January.
Carsten Ishoy, TC Group's VP international sales for installed sound products, said, "After building up a very successful relationship with DV2 over a number of years through the Lab.gruppen and Lake brands, we are delighted that we can now extend that to our loudspeaker business with Tannoy. This appointment will undoubtedly have a very positive effect on the growth of Tannoy in France, and we look forward to supporting DV2 in the install market moving forward."
Guy Vignet of DV2 commented, "After winning Lab.gruppen's European Distributor of the Year Award in 2011, we are extremely happy to become the exclusive distributor for Tannoy in France. The brand itself has all of the hallmarks of exceptional build quality and superior technology, and all of us here at DV2 are excited to be working with leading Tannoy products like QFlex and VX/VXP Series, to name but a few."
The move will create a new dedicated point of contact for Tannoy's customers in France and allow easier access to the company's wide portfolio of professional loudspeaker products, says the company.
