With immediate effect, the sales, marketing, manufacture and support for this award-winning range will be transferred to Robe, and be available through both the company's subsidiary offices and extensive global distributor network.
Robe CEO Josef Valchar comments: "We had planned on entering the battery LED market for some time, so when the opportunity to acquire the market leading brand came along, the die was cast!"
"GDS has done a great job in establishing the product range and I know we can develop it further and add to the global sales through our network. It's also great to instigate this at a time that fits in with the huge growth that GDS is experiencing with their own core market products."
The complete LiteWare range will be highlighted on Robe's booth - B51 in Hall 11 - at the forthcoming ProLight+Sound exhibition in Frankfurt.
GDS managing director Matt Lloyd says: "As GDS continues to grow internationally, the company is investing in the ongoing development of other innovative products such as the award-winning ArcSystem. The LiteWare brand has been extremely successful for GDS and Robe taking it on will ensure its continued success and future development."
