Strategy will reduce shipping costs, delivery times for international customers

BOSTON, May 8, 2008 - Technomad Associates, LLC, a leader in weatherproof loudspeakers and Turnkey PA systems for the commercial pro audio market since 1995, today announced it will begin stocking equipment in the Netherlands for distribution throughout Europe and nearby regions. The initiative will enable faster delivery times to Technomad customers “ as short as one day to many locations in Europe “ and minimize shipping costs for European distribution. Technomad, with a decade-plus history of delivering rugged, weatherproof, high-quality audio systems to contractors and end-users, will continue to manufacture its products at its U.S. factory in South Deerfield, Massachusetts.

”The ability to stock Technomad loudspeakers and Turnkey PA systems in Europe will provide improved service to our international customers while also reducing the expenses associated with flying small quantities of product direct,’ said Rodger von Kries, vice president of Technomad. ”This strategy improves response times to our international customers, expedites project timelines for installers, and minimizes shipping costs through ground freight delivery.’
