Case Kuehn Named President of Martin Audio North America
Martin Audio has announced that Case Kuehn has joined the company as president of Martin Audio
North America LLC. Martin Audio’s management buyout in June 2018 meant that the North American
operation took on additional local responsibility that had been handled by the previous company
owners, Loud Audio. Kuehn was previously the CFO at Loud Audio.
“With sales in the U.S. booming, it became quickly apparent that we needed a structure in North
America to support the growth plan,” says Martin Audio’s Managing Director, Dom Harter. “This structure
needed to allow the sales team headed by Lee Stein to focus upon sales and customer management
while bringing in a president that could manage the day-to-day business strategy and core operational
functions. I’m delighted that Case has accepted the role as he is both extremely capable and has a deep
understanding of our company and philosophy that means the managed growth of our business there
can flourish.”
