Angenieux and Band Pro Film & Digital, Inc. have announced that effective December 10, 2020 Band Pro will distribute the Angenieux brand in full exclusivity in the US, Canada and Latin America. Customers, partners and users will now have one single contact point for all Angenieux sales & service needs.
Over the past five years, Thales LAS France SAS and Band Pro have strengthened their long-term partnership by working together to design, produce and share new tools for full frame acquisition: specifically Angénieux Type-EZ zooms and the new Optimo Primes. Band Pro’s proven track record as an Industry innovator, combined with the company’s extensive lens distribution experience, made them best suited for this important partnership.
Band Pro’s history of innovation began with the early transition from film to video, and evolved as the company helped pioneer the adoption of HD, 4K, Full Frame acquisition, and beyond. Band Pro’s success in helping to usher in important lens design milestones, starting back in the year 2000, continues to this day.
Severine Serrano, Managing Director, Angénieux International Sales & Marketing remarked: “Based on the success of our previous partnerships with Band Pro, we are very enthusiastic about this new organization which will reinforce our presence on the US & Americas market and give our customers one single contact point for sales and service.”
Band Pro’s President and CEO, Amnon Band noted: “It’s with great pride that we share today’s news. The Angenieux name has been synonymous with excellence in our Industry for a very long time. Having the opportunity to enhance and expand upon this legacy, and to provide clients in the Americas with the hands-on personal attention that Band Pro is known for, is a great honor. This is a big step and one we’re eager to take.”
Angenieux lens sales and service for the Americas will be based at Band Pro’s corporate headquarters in Burbank California under the supervision of Band Pro’s Senior Product Manager Angenieux, Jean-Marc Bouchut. Band Pro’s Burbank Service Department is equipped with full frame lens projection and an in-house, state-of-the-art, Class 100 Clean Room. Band Pro’s dedicated staff of service professionals are fully Angenieux-certified to perform lens repairs, diagnostics, and assist with parts inquiries.
