At the same time they will present the team behind their new UK office, and introduce the personnel who will be selling, marketing, servicing and offering technical support following the company's merger with RCF SpA.
Leading the operation is UK director of sales Phil Price, supported by product specialist Greg Oliver and experienced service manager, Maria Jenkins.
Said Price, "It was fundamental to have a professional support infrastructure in place, giving clients the opportunity to discuss purchases directly with the company and have direct contact with in-house specialist technical staff. While goods will be shipped direct from our European warehouse the UK office will hold a full set of spare parts." He added that in addition to warranty coverage of all SGM products, items no longer under guarantee will also be fully supported.
At PLASA Focus visitors will be exposed to a suite of five new products.
Palco Full Color: Adopting the same footprint as the other models in the Palco range, Palco Full Color uses Rebel LED, a light source with a new concept and a maximum performance of 80 lumens to provide a powerful wash. The fixture has been designed to accommodate 105 LED's in a matrix of 35 lenses, each with a power of 9 Watts, enabling a total brightness of 5,500 lumens (RGB) - 12,000 lumens (WA) - to be output.
Ribalta Full Color: Featuring an unusual horizontal design this LED colour-changer will diffuse uniform light, maintaining a consistent level of intensity and even light coverage. It allows large areas, such as walls, theatre and television backdrops - as well as architectural features in general - to be colour-washed with its expressive light beams.
Stilo LED: Also shown for the first time in Frankfurt, this LED colour-changer has been designed and manufactured to illuminate locations requiring discreet systems, with particularly low visual impact, yet requiring maximum light efficiency.
Idea 300: Turning to moving heads, SGM will show a family of products with different beam apertures under the 'Idea' banner - giving them the capabilities of delivering high powered profile and wash lighting with superior colour mix.
Giotto Spot 700: The latest (and final) fixture in SGM's popular Giotto range, Giotto Spot 700 offers two types of interchangeable 700 Watt lamps with automatic fast restrike - to ensure a luminous output rarely seen on a 700W fixture, says the company.
