Sharp is the newest entrant to the USAV PMP lineup with a program introduced on May 1, 2014. This addition provides USAV Integrators access to Sharp’s ProAV line of flat panel displays.

“The relationships we have with our partners are extremely important to us. Our goal is to create an environment where USAV Integrators and PMPs can work together seamlessly to positively impact the ProAV industry,” said USAV Founder and CFO Chris Whitley. “We take time to carefully select each manufacturer and distributor partner to ensure they are a good fit for our team based on their reputation, comprehensive product line, reliability, service, and value. I’m confident Sharp is going to be a great addition.”

“We are excited to join the USAV team,” said Sharp National Distribution Sales Manager Paul Regensburg. “As a leading display manufacturer we are committed to the integrator channel. USAV’s Integrators will extend our reach and help positively impact our overall execution.”

The addition of Barco, InFocus, Sharp, and SurgeX has added strength to list of USAV suppliers and offers USAV Integrators a well rounded product offering providing solutions in nearly every major AV product category.

The complete list of USAV PMPs includes: Almo Professional A/V, Barco, Chief, Da-Lite, Draper, FSR, Herman, InFocus, Kramer Electronics, Liberty AV Solutions, Media Vision, Middle Atlantic Products, NEC Display Solutions, ScanSource Communications, Sharp, Shure, Stampede, and SurgeX.

“We want to bond ProAV integrators, manufacturers and distributors into an elite industry team,” said USAV CEO K.C. Schwarz. “That is why we place major emphasis on working with top-notch companies like Sharp and continuously providing opportunities that help all our PMP and Integrators succeed on a higher level.”

One such opportunity is hosting the USAV Lounge on the showroom floor at the 2014 InfoComm Expo in Las Vegas June 18 – 20. The space will have meeting areas, power, and plenty of room to rest providing USAV affiliates a constructive place to utilize during the Expo.

“We really want to give USAV members a place to land during the show. It can be a long week and we view it as our role to provide opportunities such as the USAV Lounge to cultivate unity among all those affiliated with our group,” said USAV Marketing Manager Rachel Volk.
