"We will be able to offer a richer selection of innovative broadcast management solutions and unparalleled customer support."
With over 300 employees across offices in New York, Denver, London, and Jerusalem, SintecMedia is now well-positioned to serve commercial and public broadcast networks, cable networks, station groups, and multichannel platform operators worldwide. The company plans to harmonize the product portfolio while leveraging best-of-breed modules to secure customer investments.
The acquisition follows a successful 15-year journey for Pilat Media during which its solutions were adopted by over 60 blue-chip media companies globally, supported by a dedicated and client-focused team. Avi Engel, CEO of Pilat Media, expressed his gratitude to the company's staff and clients, stating that today, these assets will help SintecMedia establish itself as a market leader.
