Claypaky Announces Huge Turnout At PALM AV-ICN Expo 2022
Claypaky announced big turnout at the recent PALM AV-ICN Expo 2022 in Mumbai, India's
foremost trade
show for the professional sound, audiovisual and lighting industry, where it exhibited in the booth
of the company's Indian distributor, Hi Tech Audio and Image Pvt. Ltd. Claypaky launched its
Sharpy
X Frame multifunction luminaire during the event and highlighted its Mini Xtylos RGB laser source
fixture, among other products.
"Meeting in person at PALM Expo with clients, customers and partners after a gap of two years due to
the coronavirus pandemic was really exciting," says Pankil Ahuja, Claypaky Sales Manager for
India
and the subcontinent. "The exhibition was an example of how our industry is coming back very
strongly; there will be more events, concerts and shows which we are very thrilled about and eager
to support our customers in any way we can."
Ahuja notes that, "Claypaky is a brand which everyone in India has a lot of respect for and
recognizes as delivering premium quality products in the market for a really long time. Rental
players aspire to buy Claypaky products; they have absolutely no doubt about the products. Sharpy X
Frame, Xtylos, Arolla Profile MP and Mini B, particularly, are catching the eyes of our customers.
We received quite nice feedback about these products at PALM Expo, and we are supporting our
customers with the help of Hi Tech Audio and Image with product availability, competitive pricing
and attractive terms." Rajan Gupta and Nirdosh Aggarwal headed Hi Tech Audio and Image's presence at
the show.
PALM Expo introduced attendees to Claypaky's new Sharpy X Frame multifunction luminaire, a compact,
lightweight fixture that takes the best features of the popular Sharpy line and integrates a
four-focal plane shutter system. It can produce beam effects or serve as a spot, profile or wash
unit. Its powerful 550-watt arc source makes Sharpy X Frame extremely bright and produces deep and
vivid uniform colors.

Also coming in for its share of attention at PALM Expo was the Mini Xtylos, the compact version of
the revolutionary Xtylos with an RGB laser source. The Mini Xtylos maintains the same output and
color consistency of its big brother but in a small footprint that weighs just 9kg.
Claypaky representatives from Italy attended PALM Expo and were impressed by the gathering and the
potential of the vibrant Indian market. "Events and shows in India are very colorful and joyful,"
says Dylan De Matteo, Claypaky's Sales Support Engineer. "Imagine what happens when the
creativity
of Indian lighting designers meets the world's best lighting brand, Claypaky! The market needs some
pointers on differentiating quality lighting equipment - their effects, colors, precise movements -
from cheaper fixtures. But with the help of our partner in India, Hi Tech Audio and Image, constant
training and seminars will educate and uplift the market and boost the industry in the country."
PALM Expo actually gave Claypaky Sales Director Alberico D'Amato a chance to meet with partners whom
he's known for more than 25 years. "It was very exciting and emotional too," he reports. "Certainly,
the market is improving in terms of shows and events. A very good sign is the number of
international events that have started coming to India - events driven by specified lighting
equipment in which Claypaky is a really strong player."
