Company History and Profile
In 1970,
while playing in South Florida clubs, Ron Tunks
decided to expand his interests in music by
opening a retail musical instrument store with
one of his band mates. Although the business was
very successful, Ron, at 22, sold his interests
and accepted an offer to join a popular touring
group. For nine years he maintained a busy
schedule of playing nightclubs, concerts, and
studios throughout the Southeast. In October
1979, after having a nightmare that his future
resembled Spinal Tap, Ron decided on a career
change. He went back to college to study
marketing and business and pursued a career as a
manufacturer’s rep.
Starting as a
rep for musical instruments, Ron expanded his business
by adding a Systems Contracting division in 1985. Ron
Tunks Sales, Inc. (RTS) has grown steadily since
1979 to one of our industry's largest rep firms with
offices in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Atlanta,
Muscle Shoals,
Charlotte and Nashville. The entire RTS network is
supported by an experienced professional customer
service team from the home office in Fort Lauderdale.
Representing
some of the major brands in our industry, RTS continues
to offer manufacturers a cost-effective and
cost-efficient marketing plan by intelligently
utilizing the benefits of a symbiotic multiple-line
sales approach. With a broad dealer base in seven
states and Puerto Rico, RTS offers immediate and deep
