celebration of its one year anniversary,
Almo Professional A/V, the
nation’s fastest growing audiovisual distributor, will host a celebration in
its booth (#N1125) during InfoComm 2010. The Almo Professional
A/V exhibit space will feature an open architecture design to demonstrate how
it provides all the display hardware, software and accessories needed to complete
a commercial installation. Many of these products and systems can only be seen
in the Almo Professional A/V booth during InfoComm.
“Last year at this show, we announced the formation of Almo Professional
A/V, and exactly one year later we have brought together a highly educated and
certified sales force along with 30 key vendor partners so that we can provide
A/V installation solutions for our resellers,” said Sam Taylor, executive vice
president and COO for Almo Professional A/V. “At the same time, our partnership
with InfoComm makes it possible for us to offer education to integrators across
the country through our E4 regional expos.” He continued, “Almo Pro A/V’s anniversary
celebration at InfoComm 2010 is a symbol of these successes. Not only are we
the fastest growing distributor, but we take pride in being the leader in educating
and training our partners on how to specify, choose, sell and install A/V
products that generate profits and business for them.”
Taylor stressed that the backbone of Almo Professional A/V’s success is its
parent company, Almo Corporation,
and the robust 64-year heritage and fervent focus on its customers, its employees
and the operational excellence for which the corporation is known.
