Booth SU4347, NAB, Las Vegas – 24th April 2006: Pro-Bel, the premier manufacturer of routing switchers, signal processing, master control, automation, control and monitoring systems, announced today that Neil Maycock, highly regarded Pro-Bel CTO, has been appointed as the company’s President Pro-Bel Americas.
Since the UK management team’s MBO in 2003, Pro-Bel has restructured its US operations and has experienced a previously unseen level of growth across the US, Canada and Latin America. This has been achieved with a strong and growing US team managed from the UK. Graham Pitman, CEO, Pro-Bel, explains, “The Americas is a very important region for us and appointing such a senior member of the management team in this role demonstrates our commitment to provide even greater focus on these markets. Neil’s long history with Pro-Bel, his technical knowledge and his close involvement with the US market over the past two years means that he can hit the ground running.”
Maycock joined Pro-Bel in 1989 and has stepped into the newly created role following a series of successes as CTO and prior to that as Vice President of Engineering.
Maycock adds, “The opportunities for Pro-Bel are huge. We have a well-established customer base from significant broadcasters/networks to call letter stations. With the recent addition of the Vistek product portfolio to our existing routing, master control, automation and media management expertise we are in a strong position to offer complete solutions to customers across the territories.”
The Pro-Bel name is synonymous with innovative automation, media management and master control solutions as well as outstanding routing, control and signal distribution systems - all designed to be flexible and scalable, protecting the investment of the customer. With nearly 30 years of service to the international broadcast, post-production, cable & satellite communities, Pro-Bel has a unique understanding of broadcast workflow, and is an established leader in the provision of cost-effective solutions that compromise neither performance nor quality.
