Ayrton is delighted to announce the appointment of Vari Internacional, S.A. as its new exclusive distributor for Mexico. The agreement formalized at the recent sound:check Xpo show in Mexico City, takes place with immediate effect.

It offers services for installation, maintenance and technical training to the end user, as well as specialized technical support and professional advice pre-sale and post sale.

The Vari Internacional team is led by general director, Juan Francisco Alvarez, sales director, Bruno Carranza, and sales manager for live sound and lighting, Allan Fernandez. They are supported by a team of lighting designers, engineers and technicians, many of whom already have an in depth knowledge of Ayrton projectors. At sound: check Xpo, Vari Internacional introduced a wide range of Ayrton products, for the first time in Mexico, in a stunning display designed by its own lighting designers, Fulvio Camacho, Chicho Guliano and Carlos Zamudio. “The most popular fixtures proved to be MagicDot, MagicPanel, MagicBlade, Alienpix and Cosmopix,” says Allan Fernàndez. “After the show we received a lot of good comments about the Ayrton products and in particular, special comments about MagicPanel and MagicDot.”

“I was impressed with the quality of the sound:check exhibition and the participating companies,” says Ayrton’s regional sales manager, Simon Gasch who attended the show to support Vari Internacional. “Every supplier had an acoustically and visually separated area which provided an ambient atmosphere to test and learn about the different brands and products, with hourly workshops and experts of every international company available to chat and answer questions. “Vari International especially impressed me, as the clients and visitors were at very high creative and technical levels. All the attending lighting designers clearly stated their special interest in including Ayrton in their TV and live shows. The interest was so massive that the scheduled hourly light demonstration had to be repeated instantly to meet the interest of the audience attending. “So we can truly say that the Mexican lighting industry places a lot of trust in Vari and is excited about the Ayrton creativity being offered to everyone from now on. This is a true milestone for Ayrton and Vari.”
The Vari team will continue to promote the full range of Ayrton products at major tradeshows in Mexico, and with its own road shows, training sessions and open houses. “Each brand that we represent becomes a part of our family,” says Fernàndez. “When we believe in a brand, we give the best of ourselves to achieve our sales goals using our resources of trained sales people and specialists, our service department, showroom and free training sessions to our clients. We conduct deep research with our customers as to which brands they are interested in, and which brands are most popular in riders. We discovered that Ayrton has prestige around the world with its excellent products and designs and, as Vari Internacional likes to represent just one brand for one application, Ayrton proved an excellent option to offer to our customers who look for products that they can propose in any rider, national or international.”

“With Vari Internacional we are very proud to present our new distributor for the Mexican market,” says Ayrton’s global sales director, Michael Althaus. “Vari’s team is very experienced in the market and has gained a great reputation for its reliability and support.
