New Products and New Branding
“Coinciding with the new releases of Enfocus Switch, PitStop Pro and PitStop Server solutions, is the company’s new branding,” says marketing manager Sukerti Van Schoorisse. “At drupa we will show that Enfocus is evolving with future needs of the customers. We do this not only by releasing new versions of our acclaimed brand products, but also through our rebranding. We are an industry-leading company standing for quality and innovation, and we will prove this once again at drupa.”

It also recognizes professionals for making smart decisions under unprecedented market and economic pressure.”
