Located in Shelton, Connecticut, the Anton/Bauer and Autoscript headquarters provided an ideal setting in late August for customers to visit Anton/Bauer and Autoscript, and see all the Vitec Videocom brands’ latest products and solutions, receive product training, network with other professional videographers, attend tours of the Anton/Bauer manufacturing facility and individual brand presentations. Visitors also had the opportunity to bring products to its Support Care Center for a free evaluation or battery recycling. In addition, attendees received special one day-only individual product and bundle purchasing opportunities.
“Anton/Bauer was delighted to host our first Open House and we were in good company with our customers, dealers and sister Vitec Videocom companies,” said Michael Accardi, president, Anton/Bauer. “We couldn’t think of a better location to all come together to demonstrate the solutions and power behind the brands than the Anton/Bauer and Autoscript headquarters in Shelton.”
Also on-site were representatives from leading camera manufacturers ARRI, Canon, Panasonic, JVC, Sony, Ikegami and Hitachi. As a result of strong relationships with the industry’s top camera makers, Anton/Bauer continues to develop power solutions for their Gold Mount® System to meet power demands of the latest cameras on the market.
“This Open House was a unique opportunity for us all to share a little more company insight with local customers and discuss solutions based on their specific prompting needs,” says Greg Prentiss, director of sales, Autoscript. “We look forward to inviting new and existing customers to expanded Open Houses in the future.”
