Audio Precision Appoints Admess as Exclusive Distributor in Germany and Austria

Audio Precision, based in Beaverton, Oregon, has signed a new distribution agreement to cover Germany and Austria. From October 2011, AP's 25-year distribution contract with Cologne's RTW is ending, with all responsibilities for German and Austrian sales and service passing to Admess Vertriebs GmbH, a test and measurement specialist based in the German Pfalz.

With 20 years' experience of test and measurement product distribution, field engineers experienced in audio as well as general electronics test, and local offices in Berlin, Magdeburg, Frankfurt am Main, Reutlingen, Kirchheimbolanden, and Markersdorf, Austria, Admess Vertriebs GmbH had the basic credentials AP requires of its distribution partners, but it was their attention to customer service that put them ahead of the field. "In our distributors, we look for companies that work with their clients to find solutions to their problems, and tailor test and measurement systems for them accordingly, instead of being narrowly focused on selling a particular piece of equipment and walking away," comments AP's president, Dave Schmoldt. "Admess, with their mix of consultative sales approach and thorough after-sales advice and support, are the perfect fit for us in these respects."

"We are delighted to be given the responsibility of handling Audio Precision's high-quality range of T&M products in the German-speaking territories of the European Union," adds Günter Adam, managing director of Admess. "The APx and 2700 families sit comfortably alongside LeCroy oscilloscopes in our product portfolio, allowing us to offer our customers a thorough and comprehensive range of T&M solutions at a variety of price points. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial working relationship with Audio Precision."

In addition to their sales and pre-sales advisory duties, Admess will now manage all AP-related warranty, calibration and service queries in Germany and Austria with immediate effect. In the interests of ensuring a smooth transition from the previous distributorship, any quotes issued by RTW for AP equipment before September 15, 2011 will still be honored by RTW until December 31 of this year.
