Electrosound is a sales company based in Lisbon, Portugal. Avolites’ Steve Warren explains that Avolites chose Electrosound because of their focus and emphasis on moving light control, their high levels of support and their enthusiasm for the Avolites product range – which has enjoyed enormous success in Portugal.

Portugal’s very high proportion of Avolites equipment followed on from the Expo in 1998, when 26 different Avolites consoles were specified for various pavilions and stages site-wide. Since then, most Portuguese lighting designers have had a very close working relationship with Avolites equipment.

This trend looks set to continue with Electrosound, who have already placed orders for 4 new consoles for a major Portuguese rental company for their busy summer schedule.

The distribution announcement was kick started by a special Avolites seminar, held by Steve Warren and Koy Neminathan at Electrosound’s HQ. Electrosound MD Carlos Cunha says, “I am delighted to have the Avolites brand onboard. It offers all the right features – quality, reliability and flexibility, and this is why it is an industry standard throughout Portugal”.

In Turkey Istanbul-based Telesine are now the Avolites distributor. Avolites had enjoyed a close working relationship for some time with Laurent Ferron (LouLou), who recently joined the Telesine sales team after many years in the lighting rental business.

“LouLou is phenomenally enthusiastic about the product and the production industry in general” states Steve Warren, “And this was a major factor in our decision to go with Telesine. The industry needs focused and energetic people with positive attitudes, and we wanted to take full advantage of LouLou’s experience of the industry in Turkey.”
