Quantel acquires Snell

A few days ago, Quantel announced the acquisition of Snell, a company dedicated to media technology and broadcast environments worldwide.

Snell provides products for live TV production, as well as TV content creation, management and distribution. This line of solutions, combined with the Quantel joint venture, will enable new developments to create, version and deliver high quality content across multiple platforms.

Because the two companies’ products are complementary, Quantel has ensured that the Snell brand will continue to develop, combining the best of each for new products. In fact, some of Snell’s staff will join the Quantel team to assure customers that business will continue as before:

• Paul Martin, General Manager of Snell TV Everywhere.
• Robert Rowe, General Manager of Snell Live TV.
• Tim Banks, Sales Director.
• Peter Fredericks, Chief Financial Officer.

Now, thanks to their increased worldwide coverage, they will be able to offer better support to their customers. To this end, they have their headquarters in Newbury (UK) and offices in Australia, China, Japan, Hong Kong, India, Dubai, France, Germany, Spain, Russia and in North America in New York, Los Angeles and Canada.

Here is more information about the merger of these two companies.
