|
| DALLAS, TX - (August 27, 2001) - Continental Electronics today announced that Dave Hultsman has been named the company's new broadcast channel manager. In addition, Continental Electronics is expanding the reach of its sales organization by naming select RF Specialties offices as authorized dealers of Continental Electronics 816R FM transmission products.
In his new role, Hultsman will be responsible for customer relations programs and will oversee the activities of Continental Electronics' sale representative companies throughout the United States, including RF Specialties. Hultsman was selected for this critical position because of his proven effectiveness in dealing with Continental Electronics' customers as he served as a domestic sales manager.
"In the two decades Dave has been with Continental Electronics, he has shown tremendous leadership skills and the demonstrated ability to build positive results for this company," said Bret Brewer, Continental Electronics' broadcast marketing manager. "Dave is the perfect candidate to direct this initiative as we expand the reach of our sales organization."
As part of Continental Electronics' expanded sales and distribution program, select RF Specialties offices are now authorized to carry the Continental 816R line of FM transmitters. RF Specialties is now able to give customers within the United States more options when building their FM facilities. RF Specialties offers a substantial line card of vendors to draw from to accommodate customer requirements, from microphones to towers. RF Specialties offers its customers competitively priced end-to-end equipment options for the renovation or construction of any FM facility.
"Continental Electronics is one of the most respected brand names in the transmission equipment industry, and it's a privilege to add its 816R line of FM transmitters to our product offering," said Don Jones, co-founder of RF Specialties. "We're looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship that will result in an expanded customer base for both companies."
Brewer added, "We are very excited to have this new association with RF Specialties. With the increasing demand for our transmitters, RF Specialties will help Continental serve our customers more effectively. I looked very carefully at all the companies in the broadcast supply business before approaching RF Specialties with the idea of joining forces, and we believe they are a perfect fit because they have the same philosophy toward customer service that we practice here at Continental."
"Continental Electronics always has and will always provide the world's best transmission products. That's our number one sales strategy," said Hultsman who joined the company in 1980 through the acquisition of Collins Radio's broadcast unit. "By making our 816R FM product available through RF Specialties, we're adding another competitive element to that strategy. This association is the best get-to-market channel the company has ever implemented"
