JAPAN & TAIWAN: Funktion-One has broadened its reach in East Asia by extending its partnership with Audio Gears, appointing the distributor as its exclusive partner for Japan and Taiwan. This move follows Audio Gears’ successful management of Funktion-One distribution in Thailand and Vietnam, where the company has built a strong foundation for the brand’s presence.

Audio Gears Co, under the leadership of founder and CEO Jesada “Jack” Pattanatabut and COO Bob Siripremanant, combines over six decades of expertise in professional audio rental, live sound and concert production management.

On the other hand, Audio Gears Japan – led by CEO Osamu Satoh – and Audio Gears Taiwan – headed by CEO Joyun Huang – will oversee operations in their respective markets. Both bring extensive experience and a deep understanding of regional live sound and entertainment sectors, backed by dedicated local teams.

According to Funktion-One, Japan and Taiwan are significant markets for continued global growth, and Audio Gears’ established regional presence and technical acumen ensures seamless representation. The partnership reinforces both companies’ shared commitment to delivering world-class sound experiences, supporting venues and professionals with the highest standards of audio performance and service.
