KLARK TEKNIK distribution remains unchanged under new ownership

The recent announcement that the Music Group has acquired the Klark Teknik brand has attracted a phenomenal response from the industry. While there are many questions regarding this exciting new chapter for the company, demonstrating the high esteem in which the industry holds for the brand, Klark Teknik would like to stress that their carefully chosen and highly focussed distribution companies worldwide will remain in place, and that the brand will not be available through any other channels.

"Over the last five years we have secured the industry’s leading professional audio distribution channels to ensure that Klark Teknik customers in each territory get the same standard of support that our award-winning team provides in the UK,” says David Cooper, sales and marketing director for Klark Teknik. “It's a great time to be a Klark Teknik customer. This deal ensures that our long term distribution partnerships will get stronger and the investment of Klark Teknik's customers is not only protected but enhanced."

Cooper has been instrumental in forging many new partnerships with the absolute best distributors to support Klark Teknik’s large and exacting customer base worldwide. Klark Teknik and new owners The Music Group are confident the present, carefully established distribution channels are the best possible to represent and support the brands in this new era.
