Calrec Audio has opened an office in Santa Clarita, Calif. to expand the support it provides to customers in the western, southeastern, and south central United States and western Canada.

In addition the company also announced that Bexel will no longer represent Calrec sales and support efforts after November 30^th. Calrec reports that the "two companies will continue a close relationship via Bexel's ongoing rental business."

As part of an expansion effort, Calrec also recently expanded its operations in the U.K. and added a new office in the Asia-Pacific region.

"We strive to maintain a high standard of service for all of our customers around the world, and we're fortunate to have a substantial customer base in the U.S.," said Dave Letson, Calrec regional director of sales. "Laying down roots in this important region with permanently established sales, support, and back-office staff allows us to offer sales and technical support in a timely fashion. We are also investing in demo facilities to give customers and freelancers the opportunity to train on our products."

Calrec also has a long-established relationship with New York-based Studio Consultants Inc. (SCI), which supports Calrec's customers in the eastern United States. That relationship will continue and the California office will serve customers outside of SCI's territory.
