Together ChamSys and Chauvet are now in a position to better cover and serve worldwide markets.”
ChamSys Managing Director, Chris Kennedy, echoed this enthusiasm; "Chauvet and ChamSys share similar cultures, a strong sense of respect for our customers, an appreciation of our staff and a powerful drive to be the best in our markets,” he said. “This partnership is clearly a logical step for both companies. We deeply appreciate that Chauvet is committed to building on our 14-year heritage so that ChamSys becomes even stronger in the future."
