Seattle, WA – August 27, 2007 – The EDGE Distributors Group -- a rapidly growing service-oriented group of 14 independently owned regional distributors catering primarily to custom install and residential systems integrators -- today announced a new relationship with D'Addario & Company’s Planet Waves’ custom installation products division.
Effective immediately, the Planet Waves HD 24 carat gold-plated solderless and Ni nickel-plated connectors; high-definition bulk cable, Tools and Cable Management custom installation products will be available through The EDGE Distributors Group. Mike Hench, President of The EDGE Distributors Group says, “The EDGE Distributors Group is very excited about our relationship with D'Addario & Company and Planet Waves' connector and Cable Station solutions. The interconnect cable market has many suppliers, but Planet Waves offers a fresh approach through innovative product design and real time savings for the dealer. It all adds up to great value for the dealer and the customer.” Robert D’Addario, CI/CE Business Manager for Planet Waves says, “D’Addario & Company -- our family owned and operated music products business -- is committed to superior product performance for a great music and video experience; The EDGE Distributors Group member companies share this same passion. In fact, we have already experienced great results with several EDGE Group members over the years. We look forward to sharing our passion for music and customer service with more dealers through The EDGE Group.” Buzz Delano of Delano Associates, business development consultant for Planet Waves adds, “Custom integrators will find Planet Waves’ Cable Station to be an easy-inventory, timesaving solution that addresses all of their high-definition signal connectivity needs. Together, with The EDGE Group, we are confident that we can educate dealers on the efficiency and profitability benefits of all the Planet Waves products.” The EDGE Group differs from other distribution groups in that it offers products that are of both a basic need and a unique niche for its dealers, typically employing a complementary line philosophy. The EDGE Group strategically selects the lines it carries, enabling the group to offer a full-suite of solutions to partners and dealers alike. About The EDGE Distributors Group
