Irish DCC Technology is creating a new business unit in North America which will look after its recent Jam Industries and Stampede purchases.
Exertis North America will be headed up by Jam Industries president and CEO, Marty Szpiro. Stampede, which rebranded to Exertis in 2020, will operate under the Exertis Pro AV banner led by John Dunne, its president and managing director. Meanwhile, Stuart Frenkel, Jam Industries’ current CFO, will become the new president of the renamed Exertis/Jam.
DCC Technology MD, Tim Griffin said that the rebranding of Jam Industries to Exertis/Jam was a natural next step.
The Irish distributor entered the North American market in 2018 with its buy of New York-based Stampede, a Pro AV distributor. The same year, it acquired the Canadian Pro Audio, MI and CE distributor, Jam Industries.
Exertis added that businesses have since grown organically and by acquisition including the buys of JB&A in San Francisco and The Music People of Hartford, CT within the last year.
