Sharpening its focus on the Far East and Oceania markets, Meyer Sound has established Meyer Sound Asia as an entity to guide marketing and technical support operations throughout the region. Headquartered in Singapore, Meyer Sound Asia will coordinate efforts with national distributors across a broad region extending from Australia and New Zealand through Southeast Asia and beyond.
The Singapore office augments Meyer Sound’s direct presence throughout Asia and Oceania, with existing company sales offices continuing in India (Mumbai) and the Middle East (Dubai).
John McMahon, senior vice president of marketing, said: “We have seen tremendous growth in this region over the past few years and we’re committed to building that momentum into the future. We are expanding our company presence with a full team dedicated to business development, design services and after-sale technical support specifically for Asia and Oceania. The best solution was to establish Meyer Sound Asia with an office in Singapore, a hub city with quick access to all countries in the region.”
Heading the technical team in Singapore is Andrew Poh, technical sales support specialist, who brings to Meyer Sound a wealth of experience in system design and integration from prior positions with a global acoustical consulting firm and a major audio manufacturer. Also based in Singapore is Salmah El Haissane, marketing and PR coordinator for Asia. Additional technical support and administrative personnel will be added to Meyer Sound’s Singapore team in the coming months.
Chris D’bais, sales manager for Ocenia and Southeast Asia, said: “For a solutions-based tech company, having more ‘boots on the ground’ in the same time zones is a no-brainer. With a growing and highly skilled team based in Asia, we will not only support local customers but also global tours coming through the region and help coordinate large installation projects working with international partners. Providing direct access to factory support — including design services, tech support and sales management — means we can offer the personal connection to our regional customers that Meyer Sound is known for worldwide.”
As another component of expanding operations in Asia, Meyer Sound has announced new or extended partnerships. EV Group of Hanoi has been appointed Meyer Sound distributor for Vietnam. The Coda Group, longtime Meyer Sound distributor for Singapore, now also will assume distributorship for Malaysia. Bangkok-based Numthip Associates has been appointed the new Meyer Sound pro markets distributor for Thailand.
