DTS2 manufactures and installs a complete range of winch, hoist and control technology. In an announcement made at this year's ABTT show in London, the two companies have joined forces to provide permanent installations in new build and refurbished theatrical, event and exhibition venues.
Speaking about the collaboration at the show Mark Priestley, capital projects manager for Unusual, said, "This development is an extremely exciting step for Unusual, as it allows us to broaden our range of services in the installation and capital projects sector to enhance our stage engineering offer. None of our installations are off-the-shelf: rather, using DTS2's outstanding control technology, we will add the Unusual 'magic' by tailoring winches and control systems to suit each client and each installation. The alliance with DTS2 gives us another tool in the box"
Existing installations by DTS2 include the Cuvillies Theater, Munich; RAI in Amsterdam; Muziekgebouw aan't IJ, Amsterdam; Paderhalle, Paderborn; Deutches National Theatre, Weimar; and Opera Garnier, Paris.
Henk Versteeg, who is responsible for international sales and new business at DTS2 and joined Unusual on their stand, added, "We are delighted to be forming an alliance with Unusual Rigging, whose reputation is second to none. At DTS2 our leading principle is the right technology with the right application and we never compromise on safety or quality. Our goal is to help our customers achieve their goals and this is made all the more possible by working together with Unusual Rigging."
Priestley concluded, "We are very enthusiastic about this new alliance with DTS2 and to be bringing this proven alternative to the UK market for the first time. We now look forward to combining our efforts to provide bespoke solutions for permanent installations."
