“Sigmet had a very solid year,” says Middle Atlantic Products Broadcast Sales Manager, Dave Amoscato. “Their outstanding performance, in addition to the continued success of all our sales rep force, made 2005 a landmark year for Middle Atlantic Products in the broadcast market.”

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, April 24, 2006 — Middle Atlantic Products today named Sigmet Corporation of Manalapan, New Jersey its 2005 Rep of the Year for the broadcast market. Making the announcement, Dave Amoscato, Broadcast Sales Manager, Middle Atlantic Products, highlighted Sigmet’s ability to continually deliver impressive results by meeting and exceeding customers’ expectations of an independent rep firm.

“Sigmet takes great pride in their people and performance, and that shows in their results,” said Amoscato. “Sam Helms and his team truly understand the broadcast market and what installers need to do their job effectively and efficiently. The company’s drive in this extremely competitive field has resulted in superior service for our customers and has helped us attract a number of new customers as well. This is why we have selected them as our 2005 Rep of the Year and are looking forward to more great things from them in 2006.”

Founded in 1987, Sigmet Corporation offers over 80 years of combined experience as manufacturers' representatives. In addition to Middle Atlantic Products, the company also represents JBL Professional Products, Crown International, dbx Professional Products, BSS, Lexicon, Omnimount Systems, Amek, Pointmaker, Soundcraft, SPIRIT by Soundcraft, EZ-Dupe, Terra Sonde, Polar Focus, Acoustone, and Motion Labs & Undercover.

We have no reservations about supporting their ever-growing set of racks and accessories. I would like to thank Mike Baker and his entire staff who have been great to work with and, of course, our incredibly hard working staff and entire network of integrators, dealers and distributors who continue to keep Sigmet and Middle Atlantic Products top of mind in the broadcast integration industry.”

Michael Baker, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Middle Atlantic Products, also acknowledged Sigmet’s performance in 2005. “Our entire rep force understands the importance of optimizing installations by offering complete, integrated enclosure systems rather than just stand-alone racks. Beyond simply understanding this concept, Sigmet found new ways to grow their business while providing consistent, superior service and support. I would like to congratulate Sam and his team on this award and expect that we’ll continue to see great performance from Sigmet for many years to come.”
