Christie Opens New Expanded Facility in Bangalore, India
Christie, global visual technology company, officially inaugurated its expanded facility in India Aug. 14/15, with an event attended by customers and business partners in the country, as well as senior members of the Christie management team.
Reception area
Located in the International Technology Park in Bangalore, a major IT hub in India’s Silicon Valley, the new premises are expected to provide a superior level of service and support to Christie’s clients and partners in India. This clearly reflects Christie’s ongoing commitment to the Indian market, which has seen tremendous growth and potential in recent years.
Occupying over 13,500 sq. ft., Christie India’s new home is three times larger than its former premises situated within the same industrial park. It hosts a vast area devoted to warehousing; a conference room with full AV facilities; dedicated ‘Inspire, Create, Experience’ (I.C.E) showrooms for displaying Christie’s latest technologies and staging live demos; a full-fledged service center; as well as a clean room for performing cleaning and repairs of light engines for cinema projectors. This makes Christie India the first Christie office in the Asia Pacific region to be equipped with a clean room facility.
