South Yorkshire guitarist takes amplification to the next level

Electric guitarists all over the world will now be able to make their sound even better, thanks to a new business which has set up in the Dearne Valley, near Rotherham.

Vonhatski Amplification is owned by Stefan Suchacki, an electronics engineer and keen guitarist, who has spent the last two years developing his own unique guitar amplification range.

Riding high on current reviews in some of the industry’s leading magazines, Vonhatski has recently won two highly acclaimed awards for ‘Best Product’ and ‘Guitarist’s Choice.’

Stefan, who lives in Goldthorpe near Barnsley and has based his business at the Century Business Centre in Dearne Valley, studied Aerospace Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University before working as an electronics engineer for some of Norway’s leading oil production companies.

He needed a new amplification system for his guitar and wasn’t impressed with what was available on the market, so took the matter into his own hands.

Stefan explained: “I couldn’t find an Amplifier suitable, so spent almost two years developing a dual rectifier amp brand of my own.

“It’s really exciting now I have a product range with different sizes of amplifier, with heads and speaker cabinets.

“We are the only British company that designs and manufactures its products here, using British components – it’s something I’m really proud of.”

Stefan has been supported in setting up his venture by the Growth and Prosperity in Rotherham (Soft Landing Zone) project, which aims to assist Rotherham companies in accessing international markets and also helps foreign inward investors who choose to locate to RiDO’s business centres.

He is currently working on setting up distributors across the Scandinavian countries and then for every European country, before tackling his major targets North and South America early next year.
