Panamax/Furman has named Joe Manning of International Sales as its new manufacturer’s representative for the Asia-Pacific region.
Under the agreement, Manning will help Panamax/Furman expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific market by establishing distribution networks and managing sustained growth for the company’s consumer and pro A/V lines of power and energy management solutions.
Manning founded International Sales in 1993 to provide a bridge between U.S. manufacturers and professional distributors and dealers around the world.
For the last 18 years, the company has sold high-quality home theater and commercial A/V systems from high-profile manufacturers through its international distribution networks. As the company’s owner and president, Manning has been recognized as a “CEDIA Manufacturer’s Representative of the Year.”
“It’s an honor to be selected by Panamax/Furman to represent its innovative products in the Asia-Pacific region,” says Manning. “The company has continued to lead the pack in power and energy management, and offers a wide portfolio of solutions to meet the needs of customers in all the major electronic markets. I look forward to working with Panamax/Furman as we develop new distribution networks and further penetrate the Asia-Pacific market.”
“Joe Manning is an accomplished leader who has garnered respect throughout the A/V industry for his sales and distribution expertise in both the commercial and home theater markets,” adds Dave Keller, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Panamax/Furman. “His experience is a perfect match for Panamax/Furman and will be instrumental in increasing our market share in the Asia-Pacific region. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with him and International Sales.”
