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 market penetration to our manufacturers.
