Harkness Screens Announces Dazian LLC as Sole Distributor Partner for Event Screens in USA

Harkness Screens, a manufacturer of front and rear projection screen surfaces for live events such as concerts, theatre productions, art exhibitions, theme park rides, and TV studios announces the appointment of Dazian LLC as sole distribution partner for its US event screen business.

"The live events market in the USA has up until recently differed from the rest of world in respect of using standard size fixed frame projection screen technology or indeed fabric surfaces, however, in the past 18 months there has been a notable shift in event designers and end customers now seeking custom projection surfaces to support their shows," says Richard Mitchell, worldwide marketing manager at Harkness Screens.

In the events industry one of the key factors in product purchasing or rental is the ability to source products with fast turnaround times. This is one of the main reasons why fixed frame projection screens and tensioned fabrics have for so long been the backbone of projection in the US, according to the company. However, through the new partnership between Harkness Screens and Dazian the supply of custom projection screens should become faster. With the most popular front and rear projection surfaces available from Harkness' manufacturing facility in Fredericksburg, Virginia, once expensive custom screens imported from Europe are now produced within the US and distributed through Dazian's extensive coverage network.

"By working with Harkness, we're combining over 240 years of experience and expertise," says Jon Weingarten, CEO of Dazian. "We're now able to offer the best projection screen surfaces to the events industry which we at Dazian have been at the forefront of for over 170 years and we believe that the partnership further enhances our product offering and will be of significant benefit to our customers."
