By joining forces, we will be able to merge this unique application focus with our innovation drive and technology leadership. As a result, we will be able to design the next generation of products to drive the evolution of the demanding theatre market.”
“I am proud for having found a new and safe roof for ADB’s activities,” said Christian Léonard, owner and CEO of ADB TTV SAS since 2002. “Osram and Clay Paky will inject resources and know-how that will give the ADB brand a bright future, with excellent and innovative products, continuity of support and service for our loyal customers and serenity for our employees and partners.”
