AWE Signs Exclusive Distribution Deal With Draper

Leading UK CI distributor, AWE, is pleased to announce that it has secured an exclusive distribution deal with Draper Inc, a market leader in projection screens.

Effective from the 1st September 2015, this new partnership sees AWE supply its customers with the extensive range of Draper residential screens and provide sales, technical and training support.

“We are delighted to have secured the exclusive residential distribution of a global leader in projection screens” comments Stuart Tickle, Managing Director of AWE. “Draper has a distinguished heritage and its extensive investment in R&D results in many product accolades every year. Draper is exactly the sort of brand that AWE’s customers and the wider residential market need simple and profitable access to, so we are excited to be bringing such a major brand to market.”

With over 100 years’ experience in manufacturing quality products and almost 60 years knowledge of projection screens, Draper is well established company in the residential market. It boasts one of the most comprehensive product ranges in the industry, including fixed frame, manual, electric and electric tab tensioned solutions. The Draper product range perfectly complements AWE’s existing line up, which includes Epson Home Cinema projectors.

“Draper is very pleased to announce its co-operation with AWE” explains Joseph Burke, UK Sales & Operations Manager at Draper Inc. “AWE represents a perfect partner for us to develop sales of Draper products in the UK residential market. We are excited with the opportunity to work with the AWE team and look forward to a successful long term relationship.”

Draper projection screens are offered with a wide range of specifically engineered 4K ready fabrics, including standard, acoustically transparent Tecvision NanoPerf and high contrast react versions. TecVision surfaces offer unparalleled performance and feature that set them apart from the competition. They are manufactured with multiple checks for quality, consistency and uniformity from start to finish. This year, TecVision has already been recognised with six awards, including Best of Show at ISE, and Best Projection Screen at the Smart Building Awards.

AWE customers will not only have access to the full range of Draper branded projection screens and associated AV products, but the AWE team will support this with a high standard of customer service and technical advice. The distributor will hold stock of the core standard models, and will be able to supply a wide range of customised products within 3-4 weeks of order.
