Under the terms of the agreement, Strong will market and distribute the extensive LDR product line of theatre, television and architectural products in the US using their existing distributor network.
"The US market is very significant market for us," said Fabiano Besio of LDR. "Strategically, Strong is the right partner at the right time. They are very well established and have significant distribution skills in the US. Together, following the success of the Canto followspot line, we look forward to expand our sales in the theatre and architectural market sectors."
Paul Rabinovitz, vice-president of Strong, commented: "We have enjoyed a great success with Canto, the LDR followspot line, and it was natural that we expanded to include the entire LDR range. LDR and Strong make a great team and our US customers benefit."
