Over the last 20 years Trius, based in Ibbenbueren, Germany, has become one of the most important A/V distributors inside Germany and Austria. The company has separate pro audio, pro video, and musical instrument departments, as well as a related music distribution company - TMD GmbH. Trius is well known throughout Europe for supplying extensive customer training, high level technical support, well trained in-house sales and traveling rep teams, and a good selection of premium products.
"At Trius, we strive to offer our clients the highest level of technology products and top-notch support in all ways possible. Our constantly developing market drives us to find the best manufacturers to partner with and this is a key to our success," says Hubert Dierselhuis, managing director of Trius. "Outline is definitely a high-end brand that we are excited to add to our portfolio. It definitely fills a gap in our line card and allows us to compete in the high-level rental market. Outline is a company with a long history, very much know-how and incredibly good products.
"The reference list of Outline users and successful installations combined with the complete product portfolio is so impressive. The GTO Series is truly a world-class product and is right there at the top in performance. Because of our experiences with other loudspeaker products in the past, we see a very big market - not only for GTO, but also for the rest of the Outline product range."
Outline's Giorgio Biffi, CEO of the Italian manufacturer states, "We are honoured to be working with Trius. Their fantastic reputation for sales and support really fits in with our distribution objective, which is to find the best companies in each country that truly care about quality sound and quality support. Trius is a distributor that has all the right strategies and approaches; we look forward to a long and successful partnership and are delighted to have them onboard."
Dierselhuis adds, "We will soon have reps on the road and in the office to present Outline's loudspeaker and electronics range of products, and we will also have separate Outline rental stock for dry hire. Every Trius customer will have the possibility to play with the Outline loudspeakers in real world applications and all kinds of venues. Our clients and their customers will be able to experience first-hand the innovative and technological approach of Outline's precision Italian made quality products."
