TURKEY: Allen & Heath has appointed Istanbul-based Republik Pro AVL as its distribution partner for Türkiye, with the company set to oversee sales, support and market development for the manufacturer’s installation, live sound and professional audio solutions across the territory.

The partnership brings Kemal “Kal” Yener, Founder of Republik and a pro AV strategist with more than a decade of experience on the manufacturer side of the business, into the role of Brand Manager for Allen & Heath in Türkiye; wherein Yener will personally lead the brand’s launch and initial market establishment.

Yener shares that Republik’s distribution model is designed around supporting the established dealer and system integrator channel rather than competing with it; as he elaborates “Allen & Heath represents the pinnacle of professional audio engineering, and Türkiye’s market is ready for it. As a dedicated distribution business working exclusively through our dealer and system integrator networks, we are built to serve the channel – not compete with it. My hands-on involvement at this stage is a deliberate choice: we are laying the right foundations for Allen & Heath in Türkiye, and that demands personal commitment from day one.”

“This is a very exciting time to join with Republik Pro AVL in a fast growing market,” said Spyros Pappas, EMEA Sales Manager at Allen & Heath. “As distribution-focused company, they fit our needs and are a great outfit. Hayırlı olsun!”

The appointment strengthens Allen & Heath’s local presence in Türkiye while establishing a dedicated structure for sales, technical support and market development. For Republik Pro AVL, the addition places Allen & Heath alongside its existing distribution activities and gives the company responsibility for establishing the brand across the Turkish professional audio market.
