On day one of the Chinese New Year, Media Vision has double the reasons to send good wishes and join in the celebration with Shenzhen-based conference systems manufacturer TAIDEN: this month marks the 10^th anniversary of their – very successful – relationship.

It was in February of 2006 that Fardad Zabetian, CEO of Media Vision, signed the original distribution agreement with Mr Zhou Qingxu, President of TAIDEN. By then, Media Vision was a three-person startup established in San Francisco, California. TAIDEN’s name was just coming out as a challenger to well- established European-based manufacturers.

Ten years later, Media Vision has a thriving enterprise with 8 offices across North America and Europe while TAIDEN has reached the top tier conference systems manufacturer group, taking the lead in key territories. “In the United States only, we are able to track over 500 TAIDEN projects in the public and private sectors, delivered by Media Vision“ says Fardad Zabetian “Our partnership has brought us all the way to the United Nations”.

For Media Vision, three key factors have brought up those fantastic synergies and sales results: expertise, technology and local support. “TAIDEN plays a role in all of them” says Fardad “The most recognized experts in congress technologies have joined the Media Vision team driven by absolute confidence in technology and trust that our R&D and manufacturing partner is as responsive to our client’s needs as we are”.

At Integrated Systems Europe this week, in Amsterdam, the two companies are exhibiting next to each other at booth 3-C89. Few cross-national companies in the AV field entertain such a close relationship. “We can overcome any cross-cultural communication challenge, when it is clear that underneath we are driven by the same spirit and high energy to deliver our very best.”

The year of the Fire Monkey is said to bring in fantastical motivation and be a time for new inventions; an auspicious news for the two companies. May the Year of the Monkey bring good luck, success, and ever deeper business relations for all in the industry.
