PARADISE ACQUIRED BY GDI
On Thursday, February 7th, Paradise Media Products, Inc. was acquired by Graphics Distribution, Inc. (GDI), based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “The entire Paradise team is proud to have supported and supplied ViewCast Niagara and Osprey products to North American clients for over ten years. We are confident that GDI will continue our precedent of unsurpassed customer service and product expertise," said Theresa Randise, Paradise president.
ABOUT GDI
GDI, founded in 2000, currently serves as an authorized distributor for manufacturers in the AV, personal computer and IT markets, providing supply chain management for manufacturers such as Matrox, ProMax Systems, Iiyama, Virtual Link and Bella Corp. Adding ViewCast to its product mix is complementary to existing lines.
"Acquiring Paradise Media Products will significantly increase GDI’s offering to emerging new media markets,” said James Joachimczyk, GDI president. “The award-winning ViewCast products are an excellent fit for GDI. Our strength in product support, along with our established distribution infrastructure and central US location, will ensure a prompt and stable supply of ViewCast’s exciting video capture and encoding products to existing Paradise customers and to all resellers in North America.”
VIEWCAST SUPPORTS ACQUISTION
“Paradise Media Products was ViewCast’s original distributor and we appreciate their eleven years of excellent service. We look forward to working with GDI. They are well-positioned to continue a tradition of high quality customer service and support to ViewCast customers. Distributing through GDI will allow us to reach a greater number of resellers and integrators. We welcome this expansion of our North American sales channel,” said Gary J. Klembara, senior vice president of ViewCast Corporation.
