Lawo has appointed Village Island as IP Broadcast Solution Partner in Japan – a well-established distributor of IP-based broadcast equipment and solutions in Japan and the Asia-Pacific.

‘Village Island actively conducts business overseas and is a bridge between Asia, the Americas, and Europe,’ says Michael Van Dorpe, Representative Director & President of Village Island. ‘Our customers and business partners benefit from almost two decades of our experience, close cooperation to international suppliers and highly-defined technical consulting skills, carefully constructed planning and professional execution of all projects.

‘Village Island is very carefully selecting its portfolio,’ he continues. ‘Also this time, we went through many possible choices that would be complementary to our existing range. We are not only happy to cooperate with Lawo because of its proven and innovative products, but especially because of the advanced networking technology with IP broadcast core infrastructure solutions offered. Lawo has also an excellent reputation for quality and reliability, with already proven capacity to deliver customers in efficient manner and with highest industry standards.

‘Our compact and flexible systems and software are adopted globally. We act actively to provide better and on-time solutions to our small and big customers. In that sense, Lawo’s range of Live broadcast production, control and monitoring systems will be the right addition to our portfolio.

‘In the course of the next years, we will expand our market presence in the region, giving us closer proximity to customers, bringing faster and focused support services, and making products available more quickly where needed. Supporting this, Village Island will enhance training programs for our partners and own staff, to more effectively leverage products and modern technologies.’

‘Village Island’s experience and expertise in IP broadcast environments ensures that our mutual customers will achieve optimal results, from project specification through design and integration, to service and ongoing support,’ says Lawo Head of Sales for APAC, Gregor Erlitz. ‘This is why Village Island is a natural choice for sales and project support across our product portfolio.’
