French speaker manufacturer, Focal has partnered with specialist AV distributor, CUK Group, to help its reach further into the custom installation and commercial markets.
The partnership sees CUK Group distributing Focal’s full range of integration products in the UK.
Focal has significantly expanded its integration range in recent years with the launch of the Littora outdoor and marine range, as well as the growth of its in-wall loudspeaker line, which now mirrors the performance levels of its hi-fi offering, through to the 1000 series Utopia models, which feature signature Focal technologies such as ‘W’ composite cones and beryllium tweeters.

“In my previous life as an integrator, I have had the pleasure of demonstrating and supplying Focal products to my clients, all of whom have been blown away by the audio quality we have been able to deliver,” said Phil Roe, CUK Group’s CI channel manager. “I’m thrilled to be working with the Focal team again and look forward to bringing these amazing products to a wider market.”
Mike Smith, head of sales at Focal and Naim UK added: “The CI and commercial channels have been identified as a key growth area for Focal. The engineering team in Saint-Étienne have delivered a fantastic range of products for this market and the partnership with CUK Group adds the channel specific expertise we need to support our integration customers in delivering some very special audio and cinema systems in the UK.”
Plans are already underway to develop a CI demonstration facility to showcase Focal’s solutions.
