Strengthened by 40 years of experience, the EMD group is one of the major European players in the distribution of musical instruments, principally guitars, drums and percussion instruments, wind instruments, cymbals and accessories.

From its base in Brussels where they hold nearly 120.000 square feet of stock space, EMD sells in Europe to more than 2500 music retailers via 2 subsidiaries, 2 branches and 27 exclusive sales representatives. This client base covers the majority of European territory in the sector, namely the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and Austria.

In late 2002, the EMD group also launched itself in the USA, establishing its base in Nashville Tennessee. The American market should represent the main growth area for the EMD Group in the coming years.

EMD is increasingly exporting beyond the boundaries of the enlarged EU. For its Stagg brand, EMD has a network of international distributors in such territories as Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Russia among others.

Global sales of Stagg products have expanded to the point where they now account for the substantial majority of EMD's revenue figures, as well as the group's phenomenal growth in recent years.

A family-run business in constant evolution, EMD today employs 120 people worldwide and is on the cusp of major new strategic developments in China.

In addition to the brands distributed under exclusive licence in France, Benelux, Germany and the UK, EMD has been perfecting and promoting its very own brand, Stagg, since 1995. In addition to designing and creating original products, a team of experts personalise the best products from selected overseas factories, resulting in a wide and comprehensive catalogue with flexible supply options for the client.
