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.
