The firm employs 16 people, including in-house system design, installation and service engineers, complimenting the sales and marketing operation. Its key market segments include theatres, concert halls, sports arenas, auditoriums, schools and houses of worship. Marketing manager Jari Ukkonen comments: "Renkus-Heinz blends in perfectly with Starlike's professional audio product line. With its long history and innovative R&D, Renkus-Heinz already has a very strong reputation in the market, and the brand gives Starlike a chance to offer our customers highly competitive and specified solutions in a product area that is growing in Finland. Their latest CobraNet-enabled products also bring some interesting possibilities for integrating with our current products like Biamp Audia."
He continues: "Renkus-Heinz's strategy of leaning on unique, innovative technologies differ their product from all the 'me-too' products on the market. This gives Starlike a competitive edge over our rival companies, which we highly respect."
Karl-Gustaf Kahlau, European sales manager for Renkus-Heinz, says: "We are expanding significantly in the northern European and Scandinavian markets and we're delighted to have signed up such strong national representation as partners in our growth there."
