Blaupunkt Expands Distributor's Territory in Southeastern US
Broadview, IL, 1/23/07 -- Blaupunkt today announced a significant change to its distribution in the Southeastern United States. P&E Distributors, which currently distributes Blaupunkt products in Tennessee and Alabama, will now take over distribution for North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. P&E Distributors is a highly respected 40- year-old firm based in Goodlettsville, TN, with branches in Chattanooga and Memphis, TN, and in Marietta, GA.
"Our performance for Blaupunkt in Tennessee and Alabama has demonstrated our success at providing our customers with a high-quality brand of products that otherwise would not have been easily available to them," said Josh Eatherly, P&E's 12-volt sales manager. "The result of this new distribution agreement will be an increase in the availability of Blaupunkt's high-quality products to independent dealers, as well as a major expansion of P&E's 12-volt operations in the southeastern states."
"Our transition to factory-direct distribution in the southeast has been significantly accelerated due to the hard work and great sales performance of P&E Distributors," said Lutz Marschall, Blaupunkt’s general manager. "Now, with the addition of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia to their distribution network, we anticipate an even greater upsurge in sales in this region."
Since the beginning of 2006, Blaupunkt has been shipping from its various factories directly to its network of independent regional distributors. This provides major benefits in terms of costs and efficiency.
Blaupunkt, the mobile electronics division of The Robert Bosch Corporation, designs and manufactures high quality and high performance car audio, video and navigation products for sale worldwide.
