Jands has been appointed the exclusive distributor for Global Design Solutions (GDS) in Australia.

GDS was founded by Matt Lloyd and Richard Cuthbert in June 2004 after identifying the need for a specialist manufacturer to solve challenging problems within the entertainment industry. The company manufactures a number of products including the ArcSystem, BlueSystem and modular stage managers consoles.

The GDS ArcSystem is a range of modular, highly efficient LED lighting designed for use in auditorium and arena spaces. It provides peerless light quality in an environmentally and economically sustainable way.

The BlueSystem has become industry standard worldwide for providing reliable dimmable working light for backstage areas.

GDS also design and manufacture a range of bespoke stage managers consoles which allow the Stage Manager to coordinate all aspects of a production.

“GDS lighting products complement our extensive lighting offering perfectly,” said JANDS lighting sales manager Tim Kennard.

“This distribution partnership allows us to offer a more comprehensive lighting solution that suits the most demanding applications. We look forward to working with GDS.”
