DWR to represent Sharp NEC Display Solutions

DWR has been appointed by Sharp NEC Display Solutions to distribute its professional projectors in South Africa. The announcement comes just days after Sharp completed its purchase of NEC’s Display Solutions division.

“While NEC has a vast product range, DWR’s specialty will be the supply of NEC projectors ranging between 7,000k and 35,000k, to rental companies, houses of worship, theatres and auditoriums,” explained Robert Izzett, director and head of sales at DWR. “We’ve just sold our first 8k and 20k laser projectors to churches and that’s exactly where we are aiming at.”

NEC’s line of projectors consists of both multimedia projectors capable of providing clear imagery for large and small spaces, and digital cinema projectors, offering clarity with reliable performance for theatres.

“We believe there is still good opportunity within the South African market for professional projection, and we were intent on finding a suitable partner with which to promote our world-class projection technology,” said Jason Rall, Southern Africa country manager for Sharp NEC Display Solutions. “After having met Rob and the DWR team, it was clear they are a group of keenly skilled people and an organisation with the necessary infrastructure and focus to help us develop our professional projector portfolio in South Africa. I am grateful to have met Rob and the DWR team through a mutual friend and colleague and am very excited and confident about the synergy created by our two businesses.”
