GoVision Launches LED Fleet with Purchase of BARCO LED Displays
Kennesaw, GA – August 7, 2002
Barco Events announced that it has sold 323 Square Feet of its DLite 10 outdoor LED displays to GoVision, a full service LED rental company serving A/V companies, event promoters, charity events, sporting events, political rallies, parades, fairs, corporate meetings, and concert tours in North America. GoVision provides both outdoor and indoor LED event screens, full production capabilities, and a mobile unit equipped with a BARCO LED screen which can be used stationary or moving. Both customers and audience participants will benefit from having state-of- the-art equipment from BARCO and GoVision’s years of experience in the event business and cutting-edge production capabilities.
“In keeping with our company’s mission statement of supplying only the best service and products, we extensively researched the LED industry. After focusing on what we considered the top five suppliers we began comparing them, resulting in a visit to BARCO’s support facility in Kennesaw. Our decision was finalized after seeing not only the quality of BARCO products, but equally important, the support offered from its competent staff of marketing and technical personnel,” stated Mike Godwin, Sales and Marketing, Go Vision, “ It is our opinion that BARCO’s reputation as the leader in its other product categories is well deserved and they will quickly dominate the LED industry.”
“With Chris Curtis’ extensive knowledge of the LED and the Events market, and Mike Godwin’s marketing and sales background GoVision will quickly become a leader in this industry,” stated Curt Petty, Market Business Manager, Barco Events, “We are delighted to be a supplier of LED to GoVision and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the organization.”
