LiveU has acquired its long-standing channel partner in the Oceanic region, Pacific Live Media, as part of the company’s strategy “to get closer to its customers in key markets”.
Last year the video streaming and remote production company acquired its UK partner Garland Partners Limited.
Samuel Wasserman, LiveU’s CEO and co-founder, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Chris Dredge and the PLM team into the LiveU family. PLM has excelled in sales, service and support of LiveU’s customers in the region. With his deep technological knowhow and passion for LiveU, Chris has played a central role in growing our business.”
Chris Dredge, Managing Director and Founder, PLM, added: “We are truly excited to join LiveU! LiveU’s best-in-class solutions have been the main growth engine for our company and coming together as one entity is the natural next step. LiveU’s technology delivers on so many levels and, as a trusted partner, we have taken great pleasure in developing innovative workflows that deliver increased production efficiency as well as a superb viewing experience. We can’t wait to see what else we can do to help customers with their live events, officially part of LiveU.”
PLM was set up in 2016 as a specialist contribution vendor and subsequently became LiveU’s sole partner in the Oceanic region.
