Sponsorship


As a division of the Association of Professional Recording Sevices (APRS), Re-Pro has, from its inception, received invaluable assistance with its administrative and accounting responsibilities as well as a considerable subsidy. Re-Pro's current Vice Chairman, Peter Filleul, sits on the APRS Board and reports to the APRS Directors so that Re-Pro and APRS activities can be co-ordinated to benefit all the members - all Re-Pro members are also Associate Members of the APRS.

We have found this connection with the services side of the music industry provides a very useful opportunity to meet studio owners, equipment manufacturers and suppliers and the pressers and duplicaters , enabling all of us to keep abreast with fast changing technological innovations. It has also had the effect of reinforcing the value of the producer as the person most likely to influence the purchase of equipment and supplies. Any other producer or engineer organisation could well benefit from the advantage provided by our unique and perfectly targeted market that for manufacturers and service suppliers.

As a result, Re-Pro has been able to attract financial support from the prominent tape manufacturers, for example, and also from equipment hire businesses. This sponsorship usually takes the form of ad hoc support for activities and publications to which the manufacturer or supplier can associate themselves directly. For example, QUANTEGY supports our forum meetings and newsletter at home and BASF have funded our brochure and are now funding our extensive Re-Pro International operations.
