Premier is pleased to announce the appointment of Import Music as its exclusive distributor for South, Central America and the Caribbean.

Import Music was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Argentina, with offices also in Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Miami, USA. As a leading importer and distributor, Import Music's product portfolio encompasses percussion, guitars, basses, ukuleles, keyboards, woodwinds and brass, amps, pro audio, home audio, DJ equipment, truss and stage, lighting, and an extensive range of accessories from 30 exclusive brands.

Following a successful preview to Brazilian customers at Expomusic and Encontro do Negocios, Import Music will initially focus on distributing Premier's drum set products but will expand their portfolio to include marching and orchestral products in the near future.

"We are proud to be associated with Import Music and look forward to reintroducing this famous brand back into the South, Central American and Caribbean market. Import Music have extensive knowledge of this market and will provide a professional service to our customers" said Karen Whitelam, Sales Director of Premier.

"Import Music is very proud to have the opportunity to distribute Premier drums and percussion products, as we successfully did in the '90s," said Import Music's Alfredo Campanelli. "Premier is a strong brand among drummers all over the world and a beautiful high-quality product, so we want to use all our resources to help Premier gain back its place in the market."
