"France is a very strong market for Doughty Engineering and we felt it was important to officially launch this range on the home turf of some of our best customers", said Julian Chiverton, sales director, Doughty Engineering. "The Modular Rigging System is set to revolutionise the way stage sets are rigged and is paving the way for highly innovative lighting design. We are now fully stocked and ready to ship."
The Modular Rigging System, which won the ABTT 2014 Theatre Award for Engineering Product of the Year while still in prototype form, is designed to provide a safe, flexible rigging method for suspending luminaires from truss, or fixed tubes or barrels. Up until now lighting designers and riggers have been putting together very crude, DIY versions of the Doughty range.
Julian continued, "Given the response we've received so far, it would seem that our Drop Arms, H Frames and T Bars are what the industry's been crying out for, both in Europe and the UK."
