Coe-tech MD Ian Brown comments: "We were looking for a new, good quality, range of moving lights to add to our portfolio. Robe fits the bill perfectly, and I jumped at the chance of representing them in the UK." He adds that Robe’s technology and engineering qualities are already tried-and-tested, and that Coe-tech is determined to establish the Robe brand at the forefront of moving light technology. The announcement of the Robe deal is the latest in a series of brand restructuring moves undertaken by Coe-tech. "Our philosophy is to increase Coe-tech’s new ranges and improve the breadth and scope of our existing product ranges, and also to ensure that all the moving light brands available through Coe-tech are readily accessible and represent great value for money."
Robe is based in the Czech Republic and currently employs 250 people. It operates from a modern factory facility, featuring the latest CNC machinery and automated production. It also has a team of in-house designers and an active R&D department. Robe’s Josef Valchar comments: "It’s great to be working with Coe-tech. They are one of the most respected UK sales companies, and have a great hands-on work ethic that has fuelled their success in the moving light market. We will make a great team!"
