Anaheim, California (February 28, 2012) - Extron Electronics, a leading manufacturer of professional AV system integration products, today announced that the company will no longer exhibit at the InfoComm-USA and Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) trade events, effective immediately. As explained in the current Andrew Online on its Web site, Extron will instead focus its efforts, staff, and resources on activities that directly benefit its customers, starting with additional training facilities and expanded customer support in the US and around the world.

"Extron has exhibited at every InfoComm-USA show since 1986, and at ISE since 1999. We have enjoyed and appreciated what InfoComm-USA and ISE have become,” says Andrew Edwards, President of Extron. “However, we have concluded that the time and energy put into exhibiting at these short three-day events can better serve our customers by being repurposed toward activities that provide direct benefit and support to our customers.  Specifically, we are focused on the creation of additional Extron support and training facilities both domestically and internationally."

To further enhance the company’s industry-leading customer service and support programs, Extron plans to open new training facilities in Dallas, New York, and Toronto. This will be in addition to the sixteen training and product demonstration facilities in major cities around the world, including Anaheim, Raleigh, Washington, DC, Amersfoort, Singapore, Tokyo, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Dubai, Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Bangalore.

These new training facilities, and others planned for the future, are designed and located to make it easier for AV professionals to participate in Extron training close to home and in their native language. Extron has also recently completed construction on two new, expanded headquarters locations in Anaheim, CA, and Raleigh, NC, which will be the West and East Coast hubs for the highly-respected Extron Institute technology training and product certification courses in the US.

Throughout 2012 and beyond, Extron will announce additional product training and customer support initiatives focused on delivering complete customer satisfaction backed by Andrew’s unparalleled personal 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
