Happy Birthday @Barco! (80 Years Young)

Russ Curry, Ministry of New Media

In the Belgian town of Poperinge back in 1934, Lucien Depuydt tried to sell the radios that he manufactured in his workshop.

Barco say that the secret to their growth and diversification is that the technological boldness and openness to new ideas (Lucien Depuydt in the 1930s and 1940s, often travelled to the United States to discover the latest technologies), has remained one of Barco’s core values.

Lucien Depuydt would surely be delighted to see how his ‘Belgian American Radio Corporation’ (Barco) has become the company it is today!
