Van der Haagen, for the last 17 years the leader of one of Holland's most successful live entertainment production companies, Sightline Productions, brings his enthusiasm and commercial management skills to aid the growth of Ampco Flashlight, the leading technical production group in the Netherlands with expertise that spans audio, lighting, video, rigging and every related service.
Dennis van der Haagen commented, "Sightline Productions has grown to the level that, from the foundation of the company, we always had in mind. It's with a lot of satisfaction to hand over the daily management to the safe hands of a younger generation that has grown up within the company.
"And now, I have decided to work for the company where my career started over 30 years ago - and which is still at the top of the industry in terms of rental of sound, lighting, rigging and recently video; Ampco Flashlight Rental BV."
Dick van Berkum (CEO of the Ampco Flashlight Group) adds, "I am pleased and proud that we have attracted a man like Dennis to co-lead the future of our rental operations. I am convinced that both the broad experience, market knowledge and the passion of Dennis in the coming years will provide very good results."
