DPA Microphones has appointed its first-ever distributor for Mexico, AM Tecnología (AMTEC), based in Mexico City.
AMTEC was founded in 1991 by current president Andrés Martínez to represent TV, film and audio equipment manufactures in Mexico.
"Our appointment as the DPA representative means a lot for AMTEC, because we had been actively searching for a high quality, reliable microphone range which we can sell into our different market sectors," says Martinez. "With DPA we've found all of this, plus their desire to support us in introducing their products to Mexico."
AMTEC has got off to a flying start, selling 48 DPA 4063 miniature omnidirectional mics to Azteca Digital (TV Azteca), which has already placed an order for another 50.
From DPA's perspective it was crucial to find appropriate representation for this expanding market, and AMTEC, with its history of dedication to sales and support, fitted the bill. "When we met Andrés we immediately felt that we had found the right partner," says DPA founder Morten Stove. "Andrés runs a professional operation with great staff, with whom we feel very comfortable."
AMTEC is now searching for local dealers to represent DPA throughout the country.
