Klotz appoints Music Link in US

The Music Link has taken over all sales and distribution operations for Klotz AIS Germany’s product range to the MI retail sector in the US.

The Music Link will initially carry 50 best-selling products from the Instrument, Guitar, Pedal Patch, Microphone, Speaker, and Keyboard cable ranges, as well as supplying signature products including the T.M. Stevens FunkMaster range of guitar and bass cables and the guitar cable of Joe Bonamassa.

Klotz Cables will shortly be available from both Music Link depots and will debut at Summer NAMM 2016 in Nashville (23rd-25th June) – The Music Link Corp. booth #1223 (Hall D).

Frederic Kromberg, Klotz AIS director of international sales, commented: “We have noticed a significant spike in demand for Klotz Cables from the US MI retail industry for some time. Much of this demand stems from the communities around our #klotzfamily artists and bands, who tour and perform concerts using our cables on a daily basis. In response, last fall we opened a dedicated Klotz US Sales Office in the Boston area, headed by Bruce Bartone. We are now happy to announce our partnership with The Music Link, a leading U.S. distributor for the MI industry throughout the USA. ”

Bruce Bartone, Klotz US sales manager, said: “I’ve been familiar with The Music Link for many years as an outstanding leader in MI distribution for the US market. The Music Link’s product range generates powerful synergy effects for KLOTZ Cables, spanning electric guitars, classical acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, guitar amps, effect pedals and an enormous array of accessories. The perfect match for Klotz Cables. I’m excited about our partnership and look forward to our successful collaboration with The Music Link.”

Chris Lekas, VP of Sales, The Music Link, added: “All of us at The Music Link are excited about this partnership with Klotz. It has long been our goal to provide a one-stop-shopping experience for our dealers, and the addition of industry-leading Klotz cable products to our portfolio offers great opportunity for our customers. We’re very excited to help grow the Klotz brand in the US and to become part of the Klotz family.”
