N.A.DISTRIBUTORS TO DISTRIBUTE FOCAL

French manufacturer Focal has appointed N. A. Distributors as its new Australian distributor for home audio products. N.A. Distributors, which has branches in Australia and New Zealand, is owned and operated by Chris Murphy and Debbie Stanton (pictured below). The two have been the sole Australian/NZ distributor for Naim for many years, so following the merger of Naim and Focal in 2011, industry analysts predicted that the two companies would consolidate their worldwide distribution arrangements. ‘ The merger in 2011 of Naim and Focal, two major players in the global audio market, created an industry powerhouse,’ said Gerard Chretien, Managing Director of Focal. ‘ This has driven the strategic pairing of the two brands under one distribution umbrella in larger markets worldwide, a strategy that makes sound business sense.’ Murphy told Australian Hi-Fi Magazine that Focal range of Hi-Fi and Home Cinema Loudspeakers, its Spirit Headphones and its Multi-Media and Wireless products were a perfect complement to Naim’s range of amplification, streaming and music systems. ‘ We are delighted that our strong business performance as Naim Audio’s Australian and New Zealand Distributor fits with Focal’s long-term plan for this market,’ he said. ‘ All of us are excited about the possibilities for expanding Focal’s presence in Australia and the opportunity to enhance the Naim brand with the addition of Focal products’.
