Anwell has announced that CD Video of California has agreed to purchase both BD and HD DVD production systems - an order that was placed after Anwell demonstrated its new BD50 production system, which will be launched officially early next year.
Minh Nguyen, the owner of CD Video, states that he is proud to become the first US independent replication facility to offer both HD and BD formats to its customers. "In order to keep up with the market demand and technology, we need to be an early adaptor of both formats. I see Anwell and its North American agent TS&S as the ideal partner for CD Video."
Roel Theunisse from TS&S adds, "We are very excited with this agreement and we believe that Anwell will become a major player in the North American market for the next generation formats."
Russell Yau, president of Anwell Americas, confirms that Anwell has been developing its BD products for the past two years, and plans to be ready for the expected increase in demand in 2008.
