Visualization expert Barco and audio-visual (AV) expert Peripheral Vision have just signed a distributor agreement. Under the partnership, Peripheral Vision will provide South-African resellers and system integrators with easy access to Barco’s extensive product portfolio. Barco is delighted to team up with this leading AV expert, which has an excellent market reputation.

Headed by Mr. Wynand Langenhoven, who’s also the Chairman of SACIA, the South African association of the audio-visual (AV) industry, Peripheral Vision is renowned across South-Africa for its in-house expertise in all aspects of AV applications. More than distributing products from the world’s leading manufacturers, the company also provides resellers and integrators with extensive training and support services, to ensure they can deliver the most state-of-the-art solutions. “South Africa’s demand for AV solutions is growing at a rapid pace. We offer our customers the highest-quality solutions to cater to that demand,” says Wynand Langenhoven. “Barco’s high-end offering definitely meets our stringent criteria for quality, innovation, support, etc.”

One-stop-shop for all markets
Signing this new agreement, Peripheral Vision is now an official South African distributor of a wide range of Barco products − from networked AV solutions, the complete line-up of Barco projectors (except digital cinema projectors) and Image Processing solutions through to the ClickShare collaboration product range. “This partnership really offers many lucrative opportunities and growth possibilities for both companies,” Langenhoven adds.

Backing up products by services
This new agreement is part of Barco’s global partner program strategy, which it is constantly intensifying to strengthen its foothold in the control room and corporate markets. “We are excited to be a supplier to Peripheral Vision,” says Eric Brouwers, Barco Vice President MEA. “Peripheral Vision is well-known in the South-African market for its strong expertise and competence, as well as for its commitment to back up its solutions with professional services and support.”

He continues, “There is a solid market demand for AV suppliers who combine AV and IT expertise; who can deliver the complex solutions that today’s clients are looking for. Perhipheral Vision provides the ideal combination of products and services, including training, to meet that demand. In this way, we can assure our South-African customers the cutting-edge solutions they’ve come to expect from Barco.”
