Electro-Voice Wins Major Industry Award!

“We are thrilled to accept this award,“ says Thomas Hansen, VP Americas, Bosch Communications Systems, “and would like to extend sincere thanks to all our dealers for this recognition. This annual award is given to the manufacturer judged to be the best and “easiest to do business with’. Everything counts-technical support, customer care, accounts payable and receivable, manufacturing, and best product value-so each and every one of our associates made this award possible! They give their best for our dealers every day, and this award is for them; it shows we have the best people as well as the best products.

“What also makes this award special is that the dealer must physically write the name of their manufacturer of choice on the ballot,“ Hansen continues. “That list is then whittled down to three finalists and put to a second wave of voting. This means the dealer must go out of his/her way to choose the Manufacturer of the Year, and that’s why it’s such a great honor to win.

“It’s particularly meaningful to receive this during Electro-Voice’s 80^th birthday celebration year,“ Hansen adds, “as we’ve been providing premium products for the music and sound retail market since the beginning, and that commitment continues more steadily than ever as we start our second calendar year as part of the Bosch family.“

Hansen offered some thoughts on what gives Electro-Voice-and all the pro audio brands under the Bosch Communications Systems umbrella-the edge in this highly competitive industry: “Our brands offer superior value through products designed and manufactured to deliver high quality audio without compromise. More and more customers are looking beyond the low price, low quality gear, and are migrating towards brands like ours that they can “buy into’, brands that have a legacy to live up to.“

Hansen adds, “2008 is already shaping up to be one of our best years ever: this year’s NAMM showing was exceptional, and we’ll be launching more important product lines into the music and sound marketplace in the coming months. This award reflects the confidence and enthusiasm our retail partners feel for our future together, and we really appreciate that.“
