APG, the French manufacturer or high end professional loudspeakers and inventor of
the modular line array, is pleased to announce that it has hired two new engineers,
thus reinforcing its core business. The announcement is in line with the objectives
set by the company when it joined forces with Active Audio in April 2016.
The company’s R&D department welcomes Charlotte Gegout. Gegout brings ten
years of experience as a sound technician in the entertainment industry, before she
completed her degree at the prominent Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers
(CNAM) and graduated as an acoustical engineer. The CNAM has been training some
of the best French engineers since 1925. Since joining APG in June, Gegout has
taken on a research project on the development of new technologies in acoustic
loads.
APG’s sales department has also expanded with the addition of Maxence Castelain,
the company’s new client support engineer. Castelain graduated as an engineer in
2015, and has already spent a year at APG in the R&D department to work on the
development of the critically acclaimed new Uniline Compact range before her
position was made permanent.
With a solid background as a freelance sound engineer working for various rental
stagers in North of France and Belgium for several years, Castelain is perfectly
equipped to understand the needs of the APG partner network. His role will be to
answer any technical and business query in France and on an international level,
providing consultancy, demos, acoustical studies, product training and system start-
up on site.
Commenting on the new recruits, APG’s marketing and business development
director Gregory Dapsanse commented: “We are delighted to welcome two great
prospects like Gegout and Castelain, who are a perfect fit to APG’s ethos. It’s a very
logical step for us to start our mutation with people that are driven by passion and
knowledge. They both represent our commitment to the industry, to offer superior
technologies and high level technical support.’
