The Awards are marked not by a gold statuette but, this year, by a miniature RS18 subbass unit. They are assigned by sales director Denis Baudier for outstanding progress and success in developing a market for Nexo technology, and in 2009/2010, there were some surprises in store.
Winner of the Nexo Distributor of the Year Award was Sonotec from Peru. This young company from Lima, just 10 years old, has amassed an impressive blue-chip distribution portfolio and is also achieving great success as a rental service company. Jesus Aguilar from Sonotec was pleased to collect his award in front of the whole Nexo international distribution network.
The award for Best New Distributor went to Malaysia's Audio Solutions, with Aworks from Korea named as the distributor which has made the most progress in the past year.
FotoPhono from Norway was singled out for its exceptional achievements with Geo Technology. Paul Furtkamp from Yahama Commercial Audio Systems from North America, making his first appearance on the podium, picked up the award for Best Marketing Contribution.
And taking Nexo's equivalent of a lifetime achievement Oscar was Sergio Caprara, the company's long-term representative in Italy, for 30 years' of happy and successful collaboration.
