The Barco Acquisition of projectiondesign is Right on Time

wim-0613I caught up with Wim Buyens, Barco’s senior VP of projection, today at the projectiondesign booth at InfoComm in Orlando and I got the scoop on how the Barco acquisition of projectiondesign is progressing. You may recall, about six months ago, Barco announced they intended to acquire projectiondesign and integrate them into the Barco brand. At the time, I was at ISE and was granted an interview with Barco President and CEO Eric Van Zele who filled me in on the details. I wrote a blog suggesting Barco keep the projectiondesign name as, although not historically a strong one in the USA, it’s very strong in the rest of the world.

Well, it seems that Barco’s decided to do just that. Although it will likely be a brand of Barco, we’ll continue to see the unique and specialized projectiondesign products as part of that line.

Wim is a great ambassador for Barco as he’s clearly a good communicator, but also has a strong understanding of the mission of Barco and how to convey it. I hope you’ll watch my interview with Wim from yesterday:
