Tannoy Teams Up With Linn In USA Market

A Scottish-based leader in pitch-accurate sound reproduction, Linn Products, which works in precision-engineered music and movies systems, has appointed the eponymous Tannoy company's North America operation as its new US Distributor.
Tannoy, one of the longest established loudspeaker companies in the world, having been in the business for over 80 years, will assume responsibility for the sales, marketing, service and support of the full range of Linn products from 1 October 2008.
Tony Owens, Linn Finance Director, said: "We are delighted with this new relationship with Tannoy North America which will help us realise new ambitions for Linn in a market that has always been key for the company.
"With the recent launch of the Linn DS products which have been hailed as the future of music, the sales potential and opportunities for Linn dealers have never been better and we are all excited about the future for Linn in this most progressive and demanding market.
"Linn has operated a subsidiary in the US since 1997, supporting a committed network of dealers who can satisfy the most discriminating customers in the world," he said, noting that the partnership with a recognised market leader will not only deliver ongoing first-class service and support for customers more efficiently and effectively, but also ensure Linn remains a premium brand for specialist dealers who want to differentiate themselves with premium performance and demonstrably better sound.
"Tannoy has a wealth of distribution and sales expertise in the US audio market and has a dedicated and professional team who appreciate, understand and share our values and are perfectly placed to work with us and represent Linn in the US," he concluded.
Tannoy North America's Chief Executive Officer, Marc Bertrand, echoed these sentiments: "TNA's partnership with Linn Products in the USA makes for the perfect symbiosis between two of the world’s most respected audio brands. This distribution deal provides both companies with a fantastic opportunity to deliver performance and value to high end audio customers."
The partnership is aided by the fact that Linn and Tannoy are actually neighbours in Glasgow, each enjoying unrivalled reputations in their respective fields.
With their Headquarters and manufacturing facilities in such close proximity this new business partnership exploits natural synergies while ensuring that Linn continues to deliver the best products, value and service to their US customers.
The news was revealed at the CEDIA US Expo earlier this month in Denver, Colorado.
