With more than 20 years’ experience in the audio industry, Paul Richardson’s background includes selling OEM speaker drivers to market leading MI and PA brands, establishing distribution networks to service the replacement and DIY sectors and more recently developing significant ODM projects for a large Taiwanese contract manufacturer. This brings an enviable mix of transducer sales prowess and industry knowledge to spearhead the successful development of OEM manufacturer and Distribution partnerships for Lavoce in North and South America.
“Paul joining our proposition at this point in our growth plan is fate and perfect timing for Lavoce. Our sales to renowned PA and MI brands from the Americas were strong in 2023, but we needed a strategic sales manager like Paul to develop existing partnerships and the huge opportunities we have in the region, especially now our Nashville sales operation and warehouse is fully operational. We are all very excited and proud to welcome him to the team,” says Kevin Shove, International Sales Director.
“It is clear to see that in a short time Lavoce has become a significant player for premium HF/LF transducers, and I am delighted to be part of the next phase of their sales strategy. Their Research and R&D teams are world-class and together with so many attractive and innovative product platforms for OEM manufacturers and DIY sound system builders to choose from, it’s going to be a busy and enjoyable ride,” adds Paul Richardson.
With a heritage of over 35 years designing and manufacturing high performance loudspeaker transducers, Lavoce Italiana designs and manufactures HF and LF transducers for global Professional Audio and MI manufacturers and distributors. Its Italian R&D Center is based in Potenza Picena, Macerata, and all products are manufactured at their wholly owned and modern production facility in Jiashan, China.
