Two years into a strategic partnership on LED lighting technology development between the two companies, Cineo Lighting has been acquired by NBCUniversal, the company said today.
Former Cineo CEO Rich Pierceall, now VP of LED operations for NBCUniversal, broke the news in an email to customers. He said the company’s product line-up and personnel would not be affected by the move, nor would customer service be interrupted.
“The Cineo brand, its products and staff all remain intact, and in fact we are now able to accelerate our efforts to provide even more tools and techniques to help production professional tell their stories,” Pierceall wrote. “You can expect the same great products and service from Cineo moving forward, enhanced with the support of NBCUniversal to better serve our valued customers in motion picture, television and broadcast production.”
