ABS to Open Systems Integration Company in Singapore
posted:
Mark Siegel, president of ABS, said the new company will improve support and service for its customers. “We’ve had great success in the region over the last several years, but we’ve been conducting business out of the U.S.,” he explained. “The strong demand from our customers in the Asia-Pacific region warrants a dedicated company with local resources in Singapore. With the new focused company, we will be able to provide even better service for our new and existing customers in the region.”
Industry veteran Dennis Breckenridge, who has been established in the region for years, will serve as managing director for Advanced Broadcast Solutions – Asia Pte. Ltd. Most recently, Breckenridge was based in Singapore for Grass Valley as systems sales manager. During that time, he designed and delivered major projects throughout the region including the International Broadcast Center for the 27th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Myanmar, OB trucks and portable systems, and new broadcast and news production facilities. Previously, he spent more than four years as director of sales, Asia Pacific Region, for Broadcast Pix.
