Joining as Managing Director of VUE Audiotechnik Europa GmbH, Holger de Buhr brings nearly 30 years of industry experience to the role. In addition to serving as CEO of VUE’s German distributor Media Logic GmbH, de Buhr has also held strategic leadership positions with the Just Music Group as well as Audio Sonic GmbH, where he was responsible for regional distribution of the d&b brand, permanent installation and project business, as well as worldwide service for Neumann Broadcast consoles.

“Despite being quite young, VUE has made a significant impact in Europe, with early installations fueling a growing reputation for exceptional sound and build quality,” said de Buhr. “In all my years these are the first PA speakers that can easily keep pace sonically with studio monitors. I’m tremendously excited to help the European market learn more about VUE, and to establish a world class support network to serve the region.”

VUE Audiotechnik Europa GmbH begins operations immediately. VUE’s EVP Jim Sides, who has extensive European experience, will work directly with de Buhr during the initial ramp-up phase. Their immediate focus will be expanding support services and technical personnel, increasing regional inventories and fulfillment capabilities, as well as growing VUE’s distribution network to all points in Europe.
