Gentner Names BCI of Germany Master Distributor
for Europe
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentner Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: GTNR - news) has named
Broadcast-Concepts & Ideas (BCI; Schwaig, Germany) as Master Distributor for the company's teleconferencing equipment
in Europe. BCI, a long-time dealer and distributor for Gentner in Germany, will now manage all technical support, warehousing,
installation, repair, sales, and marketing for Gentner in Europe.
Designating BCI as Master Distributor for all of Europe enables Gentner to better support its European customers by providing
an in-market source for its products and services. European-bound products that once took an average of two weeks to
complete shipping from Gentner's corporate headquarters in the United States can now ship directly from BCI and arrive in as
little as 24 hours.
''Gentner's quality products will be a key to increasing our presence in Europe's rapidly growing teleconferencing market,'' said
Michael Beyer, general manager of BCI. ''We are excited about expanding our role from national to international distributor for
all of Europe, and anticipate continued success with above average growth over the next five years,'' he added.
Frances Flood, president and chief executive officer of Gentner, stated, ''The market for Gentner products in Europe is
significant. To get a larger share of the European market will require our distributor to function as an extension of the company.
While serving as our national distributor for Germany, BCI consistently increased sales results and market share, and
demonstrated an innate ability to recognize the most profitable and advantageous opportunities for Gentner and its
shareholders.''
BCI is Germany's top media consulting firm, providing technology solutions to the majority of radio stations in
German-speaking Europe as well as several international clients. Major customers include the Austrian Broadcasting
Corporation (ORF), Daimler-Benz, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Telecom, DuPont, and Hewlett-Packard. Additionally, BCI has
established a large network of dealers throughout Europe.
Gentner Communications Corporation (www.gentner.com) provides technology, service, and educational solutions for U.S.
and international markets. The company has a wide product and service mix featuring remote facilities management systems,
audio conferencing and Business TV products, and a nationwide conference calling service.
