Nationwide Video Expands into Equipment Sales for Rental Staging Market

Nationwide Video, a wholesale Pro AV rental company providing high end rental equipment to Pro AV staging companies is expanding into equipment sales for the Rental Staging Market. This expansion creates a new Pro AV Gear Sales Division within the company. Nationwide Video has locations across the US and Canada and is available to the industry 24/7/365.

The Pro AV Gear Sales Division will be an authorized representative for several leading brands of professional AV equipment, the company says. This new division will offer clients a complete purchasing solution for Pro AV equipment including projection, LED, cameras, media servers, and displays. Nationwide will represent top industry brands including Christie, Panasonic, and INFiLED, with plans already in the works to add more. Leading this new sales division is Tim Morin, director of technology sales, who will work closely with Mark Ouwerkerk, the senior national sales manager. Both Morin and Ouwerkerk come to their positions with extensive industry experience. Ouwerkerk's previous role was the director of events and staging sales at Christie, while Morin has held several high-level technical sales positions. "The Nationwide team has worked with rental staging companies throughout the industry for many years. Our relationships run deep. Our goal is to deliver a higher level of service, provide an array of value-added benefits to each sale, and to make ourselves immediately accessible as our clients look to purchase gear to add to their inventory. Additionally, our relationships with the manufactures that we represent will ensure that you receive the same services and support that you are accustomed to," says Scott Nayor, director of business development, Nationwide Video.

"Our rental clients are very familiar with our understanding and experience as it relates to Christie and Panasonic products, as well as other brands. As we expand to include equipment sales, we'll provide complete turnkey solutions, like equipment made show-ready before shipping and custom road cases for a faster go-to-market package for Pro AV staging customers. It simply made sense to partner with these leading brands and the others we're talking with," says Bret Tracey, president, Nationwide Video.
