	Graham Rowlands

Music Group Professional, the business division responsible for Midas, Klark Teknik, and Turbosound brands has announced a strategic expansion of their team for Asia Pacific. Graham Rowlands joins the company as senior manager overseeing business development across APAC effective June 10, 2013. The appointment puts Rowlands in charge of intensifying the brands' growth across Asia including the dynamic economies of China and India.

Having most recently served as regional sales director Asia at Harman Professional, Rowlands is well acquainted with Asian markets. From his base in Kuala Lumpur he has been responsible for solid sales growth across 12 Asian countries with over 16 years of experience in managing pro audio distribution in the region. He has also operated successfully at the distributor level having notably placed several Midas consoles in the Sydney Opera House during his tenure with Australia's National Audio Systems (NAS).

"Adding Graham to our team will prove to be pivotal in our expansion across Asia," commented Nigel Beaumont who took on the role of head of the professional division earlier in the year. Beaumont has laid the foundation for growth in recent months by presiding over the expansion of the division's engineering and marketing teams in the company's flagship headquarters in Manchester, UK. "We are designing the next generation of ground-breaking products and need to ensure that our marketing and market development teams are up to the task at hand; with Graham on board we are well on our way to that goal" states Beaumont.

"I am deeply honored to be afforded the opportunity to work with Nigel (Beaumont) and Uli (Behringer) to help realize the potential of these iconic brands across Asia," comments Rowlands. "Having had direct experience with Midas and Klark Teknik, I always felt that the brands had so much more potential in the region. This position allows me to share my passion for the world's finest pro audio products with the many friends and business partners I have made over the years."
