PHILIPPINES: FBT’s official Philippine distributor, JB Music, welcomed dealers, system integrators, installers and rental professionals to its flagship store in Manila for an immersive showcase of the Italian manufacturer’s professional audio portfolio. The event offered attendees hands-on access and live demonstrations of FBT’s live sound and fixed installation ranges, including MUSE, HORIZON, MITUS, VENTIS and its Install and Contractor catalogues.

FBT Export Manager Roberto Mataloni joined JB Music President Jerico Fernando for the event, sharing insights into FBT’s Italian heritage, manufacturing philosophy and ambitions for the regional market. The showcase also provided an opportunity for local professionals to experience the systems directly and engage with the teams behind the brand’s distribution and development in the Philippines.

“I am very pleased with the relationship we have with JB Music, both professionally and personally,” said Roberto Mataloni. “We share a strong commitment to developing the FBT brand in the Philippines. The JB team did an excellent job of setting up and demonstrating the systems, and it was a pleasure to meet such an attentive and engaged audience.”

“Roberto’s presence at our FBT Open Day was extremely valuable”, added Jerico Fernando. “FBT enjoys a strong reputation in our country… Our goal is to expand FBT’s market presence and give more professionals the opportunity to experience the acoustic performance and product quality that define the brand.”

The event was supported by the wider JB Music and Sports, Inc. team, led by Michael Joseph De Vera, Head of the Professional Audio Division. For both companies, the Open Day represents a step towards strengthening FBT’s presence in the Philippines, building closer engagement with the professional audio community and creating further opportunities across the country’s pro audio market.
