Riedel Sets Its Sights on Expansive Growth in Japan with New and Strengthened Partnerships

Restar Corporation, renowned for its comprehensive solutions in video, audio, and information communication, will play a pivotal role in Riedel's expansion strategy. Masaki Tomiyama, Operating Officer at Restar Corporation’s System Solution Business, highlighted the partnership's potential: “Joining forces with Riedel Communications allows us to not only continue providing cutting-edge video solutions to our broadcast customers, but also to expand our offerings to meet and exceed market expectations with a comprehensive, one-stop-shop approach.”

As part of their expansive partnership & distribution program, Riedel also solidified its relationships with other key players in the region, namely Otaritec Corporation and Hibino Intersound Corporation. Otaritec, a veteran in the industry having partnered with Riedel since 2004, continues to dominate the broadcast sector while making significant inroads into other verticals. On the other hand, Hibino Intersound, which joined forces with Riedel in April 2024, has carved out a niche in non-broadcast sectors like proAV and theater.

These strategic alliances will allow Riedel to leverage local expertise and relationships to bolster its presence and influence across Japan, thereby making their cutting-edge solutions available to a wider range of customers, while enhancing its service and support network.

“We are delighted to have Restar Corporation on board with us. With our three very strong partners, we have positioned ourselves optimally to fully address the needs of the Japanese market,” said Vincent Lambert, Riedel Communications, Sales Director Key Accounts Asia. Between our state-of-the-art solutions and the combined wealth of experience of our partners, I am confident that we will quickly reach corners of the market previously untouched and provide our customers with a world-class experience.”
