Anton/Bauer Commemorates 40th Anniversary At IBC 2010
Anton/Bauer, a provider of batteries, chargers, lighting and other mobile power systems for the professional broadcast, video and film industries, celebrated its 40th anniversary at IBC 2010.
Along with the company's major customers, longtime dealers, distributors and members of the Vitec Group family, Anton/Bauer celebrated this milestone and showcased the company's latest technological innovations.
Anton/Bauer was first founded in 1970 when Anton Wilson, a former ABC cameraman and George Bauer, an electrical engineer, formed a partnership to furnish the broadcast industry with reliable battery power.
Prior to Anton/Bauer's entrance to the market, dependable power solutions were almost non-existent. Using Wilson's real-world experience, Bauer was able to engineer the powerful solutions that pioneered the industry's first smart chargers and digital batteries yielding the company several patents for its advanced technology.
From there, Anton/Bauer progressed to develop its signature InterActive digital batteries, featuring the industry's first viewfinder fuel gauge - a major innovation for the company. In 1997, Anton/Bauer was acquired by the Vitec Group, and therefore joined the ranks of other industry-renowned brands serving the broadcast industry. Today, Anton/Bauer is headquartered in Shelton, CT, with major regional offices in Europe and Asia.
Michael Accardi, President of Anton/Bauer, said: "At Anton/Bauer we are proud to carry on the tradition of excellence set forth by Mr Wilson and Mr Bauer. We remain committed to developing cutting-edge battery power solutions for the professional broadcast, video and film industries. We are excited to present IBC attendees with our latest innovation, two new power solutions for the Canon EQS 5D Mark II and EOS 7D Digital SLR cameras, as well as to celebrate with the suppliers, customers and staff who are critical parts of our Anton/Bauer family."
