AlarMax Distributors, a national distributor of wholesale electronics, has announced the acquisition of Northern Sound & Light (NSL), a Pittsburgh-based supplier of sound, lighting and production equipment to professionals for use in concert venues, schools, houses of worship and live production houses.
NSL is a factory-authorized reseller for more than 60 manufacturers and has the ability to service customers nationwide. The company’s been in business over 30 years under the ownership and direction of Steve Raslevich, and AlarMax states that NSL will maintain its own identity and business under the AlarMax financial umbrella.
AlarMax president Roger Graf says, “We welcome NSL to the AlarMax family of companies and are pleased to be working with Steve on our shared vision of expanding Northern Sound & Light’s local presence across the country. Additionally, we look forward to expanded opportunities between our customer bases, with these increasingly converging technologies.”
AlarMax currently operates 25 distribution centers across the U.S. and plans to co-locate NSL locations within some existing AlarMax facilities as well as coordinate its operations to provide high dealer service levels in new markets with stand-alone NSL storefronts. NSL’s inventory and systems are currently in the process of being integrated into AlarMax and will resume full-scale operations soon.
