WESTMINSTER, Colo. (Jan. 13, 2025) – Edge is excited to announce the addition of two new Preferred Manufacturer Partners (PMPs), K-Wav and Lightware. With this expansion, Edge continues to enhance its network with partners like K-Wav, offering tailored LED solutions, and Lightware, delivering innovative signal management with its Taurus UCX line for seamless hybrid meeting environments.
“We are thrilled to welcome K-Wav and Lightware to our partner lineup. Bringing innovation to the group continues to be a priority as we aim to provide unparalleled partnerships within our organization," said Mike Boettcher, president of Edge. “We look forward to building those relationships with these exciting companies.”
K-Wav sets itself apart in the LED market with innovative products and superior supply chain management. Its leadership team brings over a decade of firsthand experience in China, the global hub for electronic components.

This results in faster installations, clean aesthetics and happier end-users with projects completed on time and within budget.
"Becoming part of the Edge ProAV collective is a significant milestone for K-Wav,” said Doug Wack, founder and CEO of K-Wav. "This partnership allows us to work closely with an esteemed group of integrators and enhance their ability to deliver quality LED display solutions in a rapidly evolving LED landscape, which requires intimate knowledge of the supply chain."
Lightware is redefining signal management with innovative solutions that securely control, distribute and manage audio and video signals with zero latency and flawless quality. Lightware’s Taurus UCX product line is essential for advanced hybrid meeting environments, offering seamless 4K signal management and USB-C connectivity.
