Randy Wade to Head Up SGM in US

SGM A/S announces the appointment of Randy Wade to head up its US operation.

Wade, a lighting veteran in the entertainment field since the mid 1980s, will be in charge of sales and support for the entire line of SGM products from his base in Houston, Texas.

Earlier this year, SGM A/S was taken over by Danish lighting pioneer Peter Johansen, and a new global strategy was launched.

Wade had been a key member of Johansen's former sales team that helped establish a worldwide brand, getting products onto major shows such as the Academy Awards, VH-1, Gloria Estefan and Black Sabbath tours, and setting up distributorships with many major rental companies and dealers.

Said Johansen, "It is great to be working with Randy once again after so many years. His contacts will prove invaluable and we are excited by the opportunities that this presents."

Wade, who will establish the SGM-US division from his office in Houston, said, "I am looking forward immensely to this exciting re-launch of the SGM brand -- and presenting unique LED solutions, using new cutting edge technology to the key market segments."
