Exhibitor Testimonials



The MEDIA-TECH showcase in Long Beach will be another great networking event where you get all the latest on our fast moving industry in a nutshell. We expect the HD DVD / Blu-ray topic to be particularly hot this year, especially as the U.S. launch of both formats is just a few months old and production is being ramped up quickly here.

[Ulrich Kyas, Product Manager, Basler Vision Technologies]


"In this rapidly changing industry, MEDIA-TECH Showcase & Conference is a welcome marketplace to present - outside of the annual MEDIA-TECH Expo - our new developments and advancements to a high-class audience and, at the same time, to get an idea of where the market is heading.  The Showcase gives us the unique chance of personally meeting all the decision makers of the industry"

[Michael Marks, Kamann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG,]


"We come to MediaTech Showcase to show our products and increase the awareness of the importance of quality. We see MediaTech Showcase as a perfect mix of exhibition and high level seminar that should attract a crowd interested to learn more as well as those planning for investment in the new formats. We will show products for the blue laser formats as well as our new DVD 4x tester and give a presentation about production control of blu laser media."

[Annika Falk, Market Communication, AudioDev]


"As a global leading ink manufacturer for the Optical Disc Industry, Fujifilm Sericol is looking forward to exhibiting at this years MEDIA-TECH Showcase & Conference in Long Beach, CA. Long Beach is an excellent choice for this event and we believe that this years event will be another excellent opportunity to connect with replicators and co-suppliers in this industry. Unlike many other suppliers these days, Fujifilm Sericol is commited to continuous process improvements to disc replicators and duplicators alike. Whether in screen-, offset- or digital printing, technical & logistical support or simply higher color gamut inks to produce crisper and more vivid images, customers should use this opportunity to stop by our booth and see what's new. "
