“Progressive CI brings the ideal combination of technical experience, regional infrastructure, and commitment to the integrator,” says Jerry Calder, director of sales, HARMAN Luxury Audio Group. “As we continue to expand our reach and elevate the dealer experience, we’re confident Progressive CI will deliver the local support and personalized service our partners need to thrive.”
With its deep roots in the CI channel and a national network of in-territory sales teams, Progressive CI will serve as a key partner to help integrators specify, support, and grow with HARMAN’s luxury product lines. Recognized for its performance and engineering excellence, HARMAN Luxury Audio brands are among the most respected in high-performance home audio, trusted by integrators for everything from reference-grade two-channel systems to full immersive home cinemas.
Led by a team of in-market representatives with deep product knowledge and system design expertise, Progressive CI delivers personalized support throughout the entire project lifecycle, from initial training and system planning to on-site troubleshooting and post-install care.
