    RCF relaunch brand in North America
      Italian audio manufacturer RCF SpA used the Winter NAMM show, in Anaheim to relaunch the RCF brand in North America. The company, which has a long history in America of producing state of the art transducers and sound systems was relaunched in January 04, with former MD Arturo Vicari at the helm.

      Since the company's relaunch it has shown remarkable growth, re establishing links with former distributors throughout the world as well as appointing new ones. "Over the past year, we have had great support from our distributors, who have helped us to reintroduce RCF to the market. We now find ourselves, with strong distribution in most of the key areas of the world. As a result of this we can now begin work in developing RCF in North America" commented Vicari.

      Initially RCF will be introducing products from their Pro range including the new ART series, the Monitor range of compact speakers, the 4PRO-Series, as well as RCF Precision Components.

      Vicari added: " We already have a distribution network for dB Technologies in America, with the introduction of RCF, I feel that we have two strong brands that can work independently of each other giving us a strong presence in the US marketplace. Ms. Linda Burke and Hans Radda who have already successfully introduced dB Technologies to the US market will do likewise with RCF".

      Vicari confirmed the appointment of Hans Radda as President of the newly formed company. Radda, who has worked with Vicari as international sales Director for dB Technologies for many years commented on the appointment: "We know that it is difficult for a European company to launch in the States, but if you are going to grow the RCF brand then you need a strong presence in the American market. Both dB Technologies and RCF are well established brands throughout the world, so our move into this market is a logical step."

      The company will be based in Anaheim Hills, California.
