All Boys Distribution are announcing a landmark deal for the young company’s European distribution by granting OTB Video, one of their own exclusive studios for North America, exclusive distribution rights for all of Europe.
The deal allows for OTB to distribute production lines that are exclusively handled by All Boys Distributions for worldwide rights through their already established distribution channels in Western and Eastern Europe.
Rob Ragan, President and CEO of All Boys said “I received an email from Rene (owner of OTB Video) a couple of months ago, asking me about our European distribution, which at the time was being handled by another company over in Amsterdam. He brought fourth an idea to broker our exclusive studios on my behalf, the same way I have been distributing OTB Video products here in North America. The way I’ve been accepting any new studios for distribution since the beginning of this year was if they were either brought directly to me, or brokered through OTB. The reason for this is that we’ve really developed a strong alliance together; I trust them wholeheartedly, as they do me. It just made so much sense for both of us: OTB is the strongest and best selling Latin Bareback line in the world, so they have an incredible rapport with their distributors throughout Europe.
“Like my own, their business model involves allowing distributors to sell to shops and other retailers, which makes keeping an overview much easier, not to mention accounting. We just do so many things so similarly, it’s really like I’m opening All Boys Europe. I have all the faith in my heart that OTB will continue a steady stream of our American lines through their European contacts, allowing me to continue marketing, promoting and selling their lines, and the lines they’re brokering to me, for many more years to come.”
Rene Nijstad , owner of OTB Video said: “A collaboration like this can only work if it is based on mutual trust and as such will have great synergy effects. We already know the European Market from our own DVD business and we are determined to let All Boys enjoy all the benefits of this expertise.
“Of course we also have existing infrastructure present in Europe, with (for example) storage facilities in Amsterdam and excellent relations to our local distributors. This makes it possible for us to get Rob’s titles on the market quickly and efficiently, which will ultimately benefit everyone involved, not least retailers who can now obtain some great quality lines from the U.S. at very competitive prices. Re-ordering will be as easy as if they were ordering locally sourced titles such as our own.
“Of course we will also be monitoring sales and listen to the demands of European clients. Our close relationship with All Boys Distribution will then make sure that this crucial information also reaches the producers. All Boys and OTB Video is a match made in heaven and we do have high hopes for our transatlantic alliance!”
OTB will make available all films released by All Boys Distribution starting immediately.
