Founded in 1996, Intellimix was one of the first in Canada to become involved with LED lighting. Its products have been used in many high-profile installations and projects, including the video set of Le Match des Étoiles, Canada's version of Dancing With The Stars.
"We are thrilled to have a company so highly regarded in the industry as Intellimix come on board as our Canadian distributor," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "With Intellimix's proven track record, product expertise and large customer base throughout Canada, they will make an outstanding addition to the Elation team. Their considerable experience with LED lighting in particular -- the fastest-growing area of our business - should help position Elation for major expansion in the Canadian market in the years ahead."
Intellimix founder/president Steve Kosters adds: "It is a great honour for us to be named Elation's Canadian distributor. Elation is one of the most prominent brands out there, and now they're making great strides in becoming a leader in the LED market. We feel that we can truly complement their business, because we have an extensive background in LEDs, dating back to when they first started emerging in Canada about seven or eight years ago.
"The exciting thing about this is that LEDs are still an emerging market - they're not just for nightclubs. The usage and application of LEDs can be anywhere from architectural buildings to outdoor displays to homes. Because of this, I see the market expanding for years to come."
Kosters said that Intellimix will be debuting many new Elation products at the Music Industries Association of Canada (MIAC) Show in Toronto later this month.
