UNION CITY, CALIFORNIA — February 10, 2006 — At its annual corporate awards dinner during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, video display manufacturer Vidikron proudly recognized several sales stars for their unwavering dedication and service to the brand during 2005. In addition to the coveted Representative and Dealer of the Year Awards, Vidikron also awarded an individual President’s Award for outstanding sales achievement and three Vision Achievement Awards for outstanding service to the company and its overall vision.
“We’re very proud to have such an elite rep and dealer force onboard to support the Vidikron brand,” stated Jim McGall, Vidikron’s vice president of sales and marketing. “We have made great strides as a team, and that synergy has contributed significantly to our growth. My highest compliments go to Big Apple Audio for its tremendous results in cultivating success throughout the greater Metro New York territory. We are also very pleased with the effort put forth by our newest dealers, rep groups and rising stars. Each team deserves our highest accolades for their outstanding dedication during 2005.”
Vidikron has strongly positioned itself as a world-class manufacturer of cutting edge video display technologies, and is looking for increased success in 2006 with a sweeping array of video display products and expanding distribution infrastructure. With a product roster led by the exclusive CineWide with AutoScope technology, the recent introduction of the DView LCD lineup, as well as the stellar Vision Series front projector assortment, Vidikron provides complete video display solutions to its dedicated rep and dealer force.
In choosing the award recipients, Vidikron looks at criteria beyond raw sales volume including account history, product line diversity, rate of business growth — plus their commitment to excellence in the home cinema experience.
Joe Frattasi, President of Big Apple Audio and 2005 Rep of the Year commented: “Working with Vidikron has been a great experience for everyone at Big Apple Audio.
