Hedbox, a manufacturer of professional lithium-ion battery packs and chargers for the broadcast industry is setting up a Dubai-based distribution hub for the MENA and for other parts of Asia.
Speaking to BroadcastPro ME, General Manager Michael Jones said: We believe we are the only battery producer that has invested locally in its own office in the region. This is primarily so we can provide much faster support and supply to our resellers. It is vital for camera crews to always be shooting so I believe we can support the market better than our peers.
The company will be offering regional after-sales support for the products, not available with competing brands, Jones claimed.
With the primary focus on the broadcast industry, Jones believes the controlled supply chain and R&D allows Hedbox to offer performance and quality at competitive prices. Jones underlines the brand agnostic capability of the Hedbox charger in particular.
At Hedbox, we do not take a walled garden approach to compatibility which is why all of our chargers are able to efficiently charge not only the Hedbox battery but all other brands – so you now only need to buy one charger for all. All of our R&D is managed at our facilities in Switzerland ensuring we use only the highest quality Samsung and LG inner battery cells.
The company will be participating in CABSAT to be held in Dubai World Trade Centre between January 14-16, 2018 where an exclusive partnership with Dubai-based United Broadcast & Media Solutions (UBMS) will be announced.
