DPA Microphones is delighted to announce its 2008 Distributor of the Year award has gone to Best Leading Solutions of South Korea, recognising the huge contribution to sales and service that the company has provided over the past 12 months.
“Best Leading Solutions has carried out a successful restructure of the entire company, with expansion into new market segments,” says Ken Kimura, DPA’s regional sales director, Asia Pacific. “The company has implemented various sales and marketing activities in close cooperation with DPA, and this has all combined in an increase in DPA sales turnover of 35% over 2007. Overall they have been able to redefine themselves in the market, becoming less vulnerable to the fluctuations of individual market segments, while maintaining a strong focus on both their clients and our brand and products.”
“I’m pleased and honoured to win the DPA Distributor of the Year Award,” says H S Ahn, CEO of BLS. “Since I first encountered them, I’ve loved these mics and together with my staff have tried to get them into every studio and theatre. As the Korean pro audio market has changed gradually from the studio sector to sound reinforcement, we’ve had tremendous growth in the musical market with the miniature and standard microphones, and in the last year have supplied the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts, KyungHee University and Sejong Cultural Center with DPA microphones. I’d especially like to thank Ken Kimura, Poul Koza and Morten Stove who have helped us develop sales in Korea. We will take this award as a further challenge to spread the natural and pure sound of DPA.”
