Training The Sales Floor To Sell Through
PGW has complete sales education and product presentation facilities and runs regularly scheduled events for dealers to see and hear the newest product introductions from the manufacturers we represent. The key to sell-thorough is product knowledge. Since January of 2002 we have trained over 2000 sales people.

Business Acumen Brought To You
PGW is also known for off-premises events such as TRUST (Training and Receiving Usable Sales Techniques) where specialists in business management, such as Dave Allison and industry experts such as Mike Heiss, help our accounts better deal with a rapidly changing market.

Inventory When You Need It
The key to growth in the markets that we service is being able to access them directly via inventory service. PGW is committed to providing our accounts with merchandise when they need it. This is crucial to the custom installers who bid a job six months in advance but are not able to purchase the product until installation. Our dealers profit from the sales and service we offer.

Facilities
We own our facility in Lutz, which is situated on 15 acres. This gives us the ability to better service the current and future expansion needs of our customers and manufacturers.

PMA President/Owner & Founder

Jaime and late wife Penelope (Penny) Wood started PMA in the fall of 1981. Jaime's parents started a hi-fi company (Maurice Stereo) in Florida in 1958. While growing up, Jaime spent time after school working in the family store where he developed a passion and knowledge for the audio and video business. While working in the business he realize that there was a void in quality, independent factory representation and distribution. So he and wife Penny started PMA/PGW. Since this time PMA/PGW has received over thirty awards for sales performance and customer excellence. Looking back over two decades it has been a continuing pleasure to work with so many fine companies and to be able to help our customers' business grow.
