Allen & Heath has appointed Exhibo SpA to manage its installation, touring, rental and broadcast sales in Italy. The move frees existing partner, the EKO Music Group, to focus on growth in MI and retail.

‘Allen & Heath’s product portfolio is renowned for being diverse, covering the whole spectrum of audio mixers from pro touring to home studio and DJ,’ says Allen & Heath European Business Development Manager, Fred Cresson. ‘The strategic decision to split representation into two channels will enable our partner companies to expand the brand’s reach in the specialist areas where they excel, and service our customers comprehensively.’

Based in Milan, Exhibo has been established for 50 years and has a wealth of experience in the audio rental, live and installation fields. The company will offer a selected range of products – including dLive, GLD and Qu – to professional users, while EKO will manage the Zed, Xone and Qu ranges through its extensive retail network.
