SDI Media opens new full service dubbing studio in Milan,
Italy
Los Angeles, CA., May 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SDI Media (SDI) is
continuing the expansion of its global dubbing footprint with the
opening of a new full service dubbing studio in Milan, Italy. This
newly built facility increases SDI's owned-and-operated global dubbing
footprint to 21 countries. Already the world's largest provider of
fully integrated and standardized dubbing and subtitling services, SDI
is committed to providing customers ever-greater access to its
integrated global network of facilities. SDI Italy continues SDI's
established strategy of providing an owned-and-operated footprint of
facilities in new international territories through a combination of
greenfield builds and acquisitions.
SDI Italy will open with 2 studio rooms, with additional expansion
planned in 2013, and will provide a full range of dubbing services
including: mixing, recording, and editing. The studios will be equipped
to service projects for broadcast, theatrical, gaming, and additional
media venues. SDI Italy will also provide SDI clients additional
capabilities - allowing SDI to manage Italian projects, in Italy, with
Italian management, while also benefitting clients with the
technologies and technical expertise that comes from working with a
global provider.
"We are very excited about our Italian expansion" said Walter
Schonfeld, CEO of SDI, "Our customers continue to look to SDI for a
broad array of owned-and-operated, integrated, and standardized
facilities that provide the highest-quality dubbing services at
competitive prices - SDI Italy is just our latest addition. We will
continue to fulfill our commitment to customers in an ever-growing
number of locations. When coupled with SDI's other recent expansions in
Japan and the Philippines, as well as our recent launch of new
technologies, we are demonstrating the advantages a global partner with
owned and operated facilities can offer."
SDI is pleased to announce two additions to SDI Italy's management
team; Audrey Sadleir as Italy's Country Manager and Emanuela Ghignoni
as Production Manager. Both Audrey and Emanuela have extensive
experience in the Italian dubbing market with long histories in various
dubbing roles. SDI welcomes Audrey as she departs from her role at
Studio Asci in Milan, where she facilitated dubbing projects for
features, broadcast, and DVD. Emanuela joins SDI from her former role
as Dubbing Manager at Jinglebell Communication, also in Milan, where
she managed Client and Production services.
SDI Italy is scheduled to begin operations in July 2012 and is
currently accepting inquiries for new projects.
