CinemaNext Opens Its First French Regional Office at the Pole Pixel of Villeurbanne

Paris and Lyon (France), 24 May 2016/ CinemaNext (Ymagis Group), the specialist in exhibitor services for the motion picture industry, recently inaugurated its first French regional sales and technical support office at the Pôle Pixel in Villeurbanne, a suburb of Lyon. The office is managed by Olivier Douet, Head of Sales for CinemaNext France, Switzerland & Africa.

"The opening of our first regional office allows us to better meet the growing services demand from our clients in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region,” said Maxime Rigaud, General Manager, CinemaNext France. “With this new geographic proximity, our goal is to strengthen our business relationship with clients such as the Adira, Megarama and CNP Terreaux and Bellecourt cinema chains. We are now assessing the prospect of opening further regional offices across France."

"The choice of Lyon/Villeurbanne and the Pôle Pixel as the location of our first regional office in France is a strategic one that allows our Lyon-based technicians to guarantee onsite service within three hours or less through our partnership with local service provider Gécome,” added Olivier Douet. “Thanks to our stock of consumables (Barco, Christie, NEC, Sony, Ushio, Osram, Dolby, etc.), we will be able to further develop our logistical and technical services offer, including maintenance and onsite support, for our exhibitor clients in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes as well as the Drôme and Ardèche regions."
