König & Meyer is strengthening its international presence through a new partnership with DWR Distribution, bringing its professional product range closer to users in the professional, live events, broadcast and production industries.
Based in Germany, König & Meyer was established in 1949 and is known for its high-quality, durable music stands, microphone and instrument stands, speaker stands, drum thrones, stools and benches, as well as accessories for lighting, sound and studio equipment. The company’s innovative spirit is backed by its attention to detail, with all metal and plastic parts manufactured in-house.

At the core of this expansion is a clear commitment: to develop solutions that truly work in everyday creative environments—products that do not take centre stage themselves, but reliably provide the foundation for seamless interaction between music, technology, and production.
DWR Distribution is a well-established partner for professional solutions in the fields of live events, film, television, broadcast, and theatre. The company is known for its strong technical expertise, customer-focused approach, and deep understanding of modern production environments.
Christian Kämmer, Export Manager at König & Meyer, explains: “South Africa is an exciting and growing market with a vibrant creative scene. With DWR Distribution, we have gained a partner who strongly shares our values: quality, reliability, and the ambition to support professional users in the best possible way.”
DWR Distribution also looks ahead to the partnership with confidence: “König & Meyer has stood for decades for products that professionals around the world rely on. This level of quality fits perfectly with our commitment to offering only the best solutions to our customers,” says Duncan Riley, Director at DWR Distribution.
From now on, the entire König & Meyer product range will be available through DWR Distribution in South Africa, including microphone, speaker, and keyboard stands, as well as a wide range of accessories, supported by local service and expertise.
Looking ahead: Mediatech Africa Expo

The upcoming Mediatech Africa Expo will mark the first official presentation of König & Meyer products by DWR Distribution as part of the new partnership. CEO Gabriela König and Export Manager Christian Kämmer will be present to support the launch and engage directly with partners and users.
“We are excited to bring these products into the market and closer to the people who use them every day,” adds Duncan Riley.
Through this collaboration, the two companies combine their strengths, united by a shared focus on quality, functionality, and long-term partnerships. The aim is to bring König & Meyer products even closer to users in the South African market, supported by local service and expert knowledge.
