NEW ORLEANS (10/1/09) – Digital Delivery Group (DDG), the leading distribution consortium for digital-home technology, today announced the opening of a new distribution center and showroom in New Orleans by WAVE Electronics, Inc., its regional member for Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

"We are increasingly impressed with WAVE's continued growth in an otherwise slow economy," said David Kaplan, Digital Delivery Group, Executive Director. "I think it important to note that their growth is not just fueled by expansion, as their current locations are also experiencing sales increases. By opening in New Orleans now, WAVE will be well positioned for further growth as the economy rebounds."

"By keeping our business focused on service to our core customers, the independent custom integrators, WAVE has continued to grow despite the general economic pessimism," says Gary Wermuth, President of WAVE Electronics, Inc. "By creatively promoting our showrooms and distribution centers, product training, and dealer support services we have created a business model that enhances our customers' own sales capabilities. We are a one-stop custom shop, and many of our dealers utilize our showrooms for compelling client presentations. DDG's continued vendor support and training programs have also played a significant role in this process. This expansion is a reflection of the success of both WAVE's and DDG's business models and their joint commitment to true customer service."
