Groupe Solotech Inc. (Solotech) has acquired Pro Sound, Inc., an audio, video, lighting and broadcast integration company headquartered in Miami FL with offices and warehouses in Orlando FL, Pensacola FL and Los Angeles CA. Solotech has also acquired Pro Sound, Inc.’s Stage Equipment and Lighting (SEAL) brand, as well as affiliates Pro Sound CA, Inc., and Show Systems, Inc. This acquisition is intended to increase Solotech’s systems-integration and live-production presence in the US market.
Pro Sound & Video, Stage Equipment and Lighting, and Show Systems will each continue to operate under their current names, with the upcoming unified branding of “A Solotech Company.”
Joining the senior management of Solotech, Rod Sintow continues his role as CEO of Pro Sound. He will work closely with Philip Giffard, President of the Sales and Systems Integration Division at Solotech and Mickey Curbishley, President, Live Productions, USA and UK. They will bring together their teams, best practices and service offerings to markets including theme parks, broadcast facilities, Houses of Worship (HoWs), theaters and performing-arts centers, corporate events, and large-scale music and performing arts productions.
“Pro Sound’s reputation speaks for itself as does its impressive list of clients in theme parks, broadcast facilities and sporting venues,” Giffard said. “By acquiring Pro Sound, we will be able to offer more North American customers access to our Sales & Systems Integration solutions, customized to their needs. Solotech and Pro Sound have similar philosophies of comprehensive service and support to clients from the initial design all the way through systems commissioning and even after the project is up and running. With the combining of our two service-oriented companies, Solotech is responding to clients’ desires to have a single source solution with knowledgeable experts across market sectors.”
