Michael Reed, president and founder of Reed Rigging, said, "I recognised the potential of XLNT CyberHoist as a special product on its US tour debut, Phil Collins' Last Final Farewell World Tour. As motion control has become an increasingly important tool for artists, designers and producers, I and our production rigging manager, Neil Montour, have compared XLNT CyberHoist with other motion control brands and concluded that nothing matches its combination of accuracy, intuitive operation, reliability and quietness."
Reed Rigging has designed, engineered, and installed overhead lifting and support equipment for the last 18 years. The company's Equipment Rentals division maintains a large inventory of stage rigging equipment, backed by the expertise of an ETCP certified production staff. Its Production division provides engineered designs, equipment and ETCP certified staff for a wide array of touring and corporate clients. Reed Rigging's Permanent Installations group provides permanent rigging systems for theatres, schools, museums, and houses of worship.
The agreement follows the opening of the first XLNT CyberHoist East Coast office in October 2010, providing sales, training and customer support for North America based in Manheim, PA. A West Coast support point in Los Angeles will be confirmed shortly.
Marc van der Wel, commercial director at XLNT Advanced Technologies in the Netherlands, said, "We are delighted to sign an agreement with a company as well respected as Reed Rigging. Their endorsement and presence in the market will add to our other rental partners in making XLNT CyberHoist the leading motion control brand in North America."
