Top CEDIA Channel Home Entertainment Seating Company RowOne Changes Ownership ‘Keeping it in the family’ so to speak, former company sales and marketing director Todd Girdis acquires the brand, readies for late summer deliveries Ann Arbor, MI – May 12, 2020 – Home theater seating company RowOne® has relaunched with its former Director of Sales and Marketing Todd Girdis leading the charge as new owner and CEO. Since acquiring the company from founder Robert Cribbs in February of this year, Todd and team are busy supporting dealers, making some refinements to existing models, expanding the independent manufacturer sales representative network, and readying for late summer product deliveries. Todd is already well-known by the company’s dealer base, many of whom are members of the Home Technology Specialists of America (HTSA) and Authorized Integrators Network (AiN) buying groups, both of which RowOne is a participating manufacturer, an effort led by Todd during his tenure as the company’s Director of Sales and Marketing from 2017 – 2019. A former AV integrator himself, Todd played an integral role in significantly growing RowOne to the point of achieving a top 5 home theater seating company ranking in CE Pro Magazine’s 2018 CE Pro 100 Brand Analysis. This is quite a feat given the nearly two dozen brands that serve the custom residential category, many of them highly recognized name brands that have occupied the space for decades.

Atlantic Technology Appoints New TOLA Market Independent Manufacturer Sales Rep Firm Hi-Fi Representation, Led by HAA- and ISF-trained principal Jacob Atkinson Norwood, MA – April 13, 2020 – Atlantic Technology today announced the recent appointment of Hi-Fi Representation as the company’s new independent manufacturer sales rep firm in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. Established January 2020, Hi-Fi Representation is led by President Jacob Atkinson, an HAA- and ISF-trained AV professional with over 25-years of experience in sales for custom installation firms and manufacturers, along with partner and COO Gabriel Garland. “We are very excited to have been appointed to represent Atlantic Technology,” says Jacob. “Putting some of their new products through their paces -- the 8600eLR tower speakers, SBT-1000 powered subwoofer and IC6-OBA in-ceiling Atmos speakers -- Gabriel and I were blown away with the performance, fit-and-finish and pricing and I’d venture to say their Atmos in-ceiling is the best I’ve ever heard. How fortunate for Hi-Fi Reps, in the beginning stages of starting our rep firm, that we can launch with this loudspeaker / headphone line. Without giving away any secrets, we see tremendous opportunities in many different arenas.” “Around for more than 30-years now, Atlantic Technology is a highly respected brand. Virtually every dealer that Paul Muto and I met with at CEDIA Expo and Tech Summits has a story to tell about their favorite Atlantic Technology product -- be it a soundbar, subwoofer, in-ceiling speaker or other -- and Texas is where we heard the greatest amount of testimonials!” said Paul Fredrickson, Business Development Director at Muto Communications, Atlantic Technology’s PR agency-of-record. “The Hi-Fi Reps guys have tremendous enthusiasm for the line and we are very pleased to see them situated as Atlantic Technology’s new reps.”

Austin, TX - April 13, 2020 – Custom, made-in-USA acoustically transparent-specialized film screen company Seymour-Screen Excellence has appointed new independent manufacturer sales rep firm Hi-Fi Representation which covers Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. Established January 2020, Hi-Fi Representation is led by president Jacob Atkinson, an HAA- and ISF-trained AV professional with over 25-years of experience in sales for custom installation firms and manufacturers, along with partner and COO Gabriel Garland. The team at Hi-Fi Reps saw Seymour-Screen Excellence’s 2019 CEDIA Expo home theater demo where the company had nabbed a CEDIA Best New Hardware Product award for its Adjustable Ratio Theater (ART), a build-on wall masking system with an acoustically transparent image width of up to 300-inches with motorized masking 20-feet tall and 30-feet wide for a commercial-like cinema experience. “Seymour-Screen Excellence’s reference studio performance and pedigree are 100% in-sync with what Hi-Fi Reps is all about,” said Jacob. “It happened that this was the line we launched our firm with, and it couldn’t be more fitting. Coming onboard February, we’ve successfully begun work with dealers to bring Seymour-Screen Excellence into more demo theaters and homeowners’ theaters in the making.” “Jacob reached out to me (a cold call actually!) and the timing was perfect,” said Paul Muto, of Muto Communications, which manages Seymour-Screen Excellence’s public relations and sales network. “Through extensive conversations and related strategizing, I see that Jacob and Gabriel have deep understanding of dealers’ businesses, with strong abilities to guide them to make the best decisions. I’m very pleased to have Hi-Fi Reps onboard as a partner and am optimistic that we will all benefit here.”
