Manfrotto, a leading global innovator and manufacturer of premium photo, video and lighting support products and accessories, has reached a mutual agreement with Elinchrom and as of May 5, 2015, will no longer serve as the distributor of the brand's products in the United States.

Headquartered in Switzerland, Elinchrom is the manufacturer of studio lighting systems.

"Together, Manfrotto Distribution and Elinchrom built one of the best lighting brands in the photography industry. We have a long history of success, " said Adam Mirabella, President of Manfrotto Distribution. "As the U. S. photography and lighting market continues to evolve, both companies embrace these changes by updating their respective strategies in the marketplace. Elinchrom has been at the forefront of photographic lighting technology for more than 50 years, and we wish them continued success as they continue to provide photographers with high quality lighting solutions.
