Gruv Gear Announces India Distribution Deal
Gruv Gear Announces India Distribution Deal… Rockin’ 24/7 approached Gruv Gear at the end of 2011, and the two companies met shortly after at the Musikmesse / Prolight + Soundshow in Frankfurt, Germany held in March. Rockin’ 24/7‘s president Vinay Sharma noted their strong interest in complementing their current distributed brands that focused on the Live Entertainment industry, including lighting, stage production, sound, screens and truss systems. With major brands under their belt including American DJ, Eurotruss, Elation Professional Lighting, and Lamba / KAM, Gruv Gear’s innovative products including the V-Cart Solo, Stadium Bag, and the newMuver 6 multi-mode professional gear transport cart fit nicely in the mix.
“We’re always excited to see people’s reactions to our products,” says Jay Baldemor, president of Gruv Gear. “It’s been quite consistent actually with every show we attend, from the NAMM Show to Musikmesse to DJ Expo to Pro Photo shows — Dealers and customers alike are drawn to the look-and-feel of our brand before even seeing a live demo. There have been many occasions when people have told us that our products were the best they saw at the show. I’m sure Vinay and his team will be hearing similar praises this weekend at Palm Expo!”
Rockin’ 24/7’s unique position as a professional event management company allows it to reach audiences and customers organically, focusing not only in a B2B environment as a supplier, but offering hands-on service in the heart of where the products are used — At the events themselves. Having this unique exposure and visibility allows them to have a keen understanding of the market needs and be able react to shifting trends. This week’s introduction of Gruv Gear products to the Indian market gives Rockin’ 24/7 a definite advantage as they pave a new path for innovation for the end user — DJs, musicians, mobile producers, sound engineers, photographers, cinematographers and more. Palm Expo 2012, being held May 31-June 2, is India’s foremost show for the Pro Audio, Lighting, and Music Industries, and is the perfect platform to build the momentum and excitement around Gruv Gear.
