LEA Professional has announced the appointment of Peter E. Schmitt (PES) as its sales representative for the New York metropolitan area.
LEA’s newest independent representative firm, Pompton Plains, NJ-based PES has provided a range of pro audio and AV sales, support, training, and system services for nearly 100 years. “At PES, we strive to partner with brands that are innovative and forward-thinking and have a solid market strategy and product roadmap that truly focuses on end-user needs,” says president Bryan Ottens. “I first heard of LEA Professional through our integrator network where system designers were incorporating Connect Series amplifiers into their installations with much success.
“When I researched the company,” he continues, “I saw that LEA’s personnel pedigree comes with a long history of knowing what works and what doesn’t, making a young organization extremely wise to the market. We see LEA being able to provide innovative solutions which only those with this high level of expertise could provide.”
PES will represent the full range of LEA Professional’s power amplifiers including the Network Connect Series and Dante Connect Series that provide multiple methods of connectivity, including standard analog connections, a built-in WiFi Access Point for directly connecting to an existing WiFi network, or by using a Local Area Network Ethernet connection.
“We’re pleased to welcome the PES team to the growing list of LEA’s far reaching and hardworking representative firms,” says Scott Robbins, VP of global sales for LEA Professional. “PES has a team of experienced professionals who are well-positioned to provide an excellent level of sales and service support to the Metro New York territory, an area where we have seen a huge demand for our technology in recent months. We look forward to working closely with PES to continue to develop the growth potential within this very important region.”
