Hamburg, 01. October 2011

Dear Business Partners, Customers and Friends of AVC,

Exactly twenty years ago, at 1th October 1991, AVC has been established in Hamburg. A small team of 15 staff member started with what is still true of AVC: high quality service for audio-, video- and communication products with utmost flexibility, reliability, and fulfilment of customers wishes.

At the beginning AVC concentrated mainly on product service for the consumer market and for specialized shops. The professional product range followed soon so that the employees of AVC become already early acquainted with professional media techniques. Affiliated branches were established - amongst others in Hanover, Berlin and Munich - so that we could offer our services nearly all over.

Meanwhile AVC with more than 140 employees has become a household name in the IT-, broadcast- and consumer market also beyond Germany's frontiers. At present AVC executes more than 80,000 service repairs per year, commissioned more than 120 studios and outside broadcast vehicles. And an average of 30 of our experts is continuously employed on-site for our international clientele.

Companies like Apple, Amazon, Canon, Clear-Com. Fuji, Grass Valley, Manfrotto, Panasonic, Satchler, Sony, Sony-Vaio, Vinten, Angenieux and many others entrust us with their equipment and ambitious projects like the commissioning of a TV studio in Nigeria are challenges met by our highly motivated team. The media scene has become more demanding, more complex and global - AVC has grown accordingly.

That makes us proud and after twenty years of it we show a successful balance. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our partners and customers for the confidence placed in us.

Your AVC Service Team.
