Ballantyne Strong was selected to provide 200 NEC digital-cinema
projectors for China Film Group Corp. in theatres throughout the
People’s Republic of China (PRC). Ballantyne expects to make
initial shipments of 50 projectors in the second quarter of 2010,
with the balance of the order to be shipped later this year. The
new agreement follows a 100-projector order completed in Q2 2009
and a 160-projector order completed in Q1 2010.
John P. Wilmers, president and CEO of Ballantyne, commented, “We
are gratified that China Film Group has expanded its commitment to
Ballantyne and our NEC projector line with this, their largest
order to date… With approximately 6,000 cinema screens currently,
the PRC is focused on rapidly growing its theatre and screen
footprint to as many as 12,000 or more screens in the next three to
five years. We look forward to supporting China Film Group in
bringing digital cinema to a growing number of Chinese
consumers.”
Ballantyne has a sales and full-service office in Beijing and plans
to open an additional office in Shanghai later this year.
