"This is a very exciting time to be a part of the entertainment and architectural lighting industry," Gressier said. "The Chauvet presence internationally, with 120 distributors in 80 countries, places a significant and strategic emphasis towards growing international markets. Particularly in Europe, where we have a corporate office in the UK, the growth potential is something to conquer. There is great potential to place Chauvet as a market leader."
