Video specialist fast-forwards European expansion with London audiovisual firm acquisition

A London-headquartered audiovisual tech firm has been acquired by a growing European video collaboration specialist.

AV specialist AVMI has been acquired by Amsterdam-based Kinley as part of its ongoing global expansion.

Founded in 2010, AVMI specialises in audio visual and digital media solutions for corporate communication across a range of sectors including banking, retail and tech.

Edward Cook, CEO of AVMI, commented: “The combination of Kinly and AVMI has always looked like an excellent idea and I am delighted that it is now a reality. Both companies are market leaders in their own countries and I am confident that, together, we can truly compete on the global stage.

“Our industry has matured to the extent that our clients now demand global coverage and a breadth of skill sets that only a handful of companies can provide. I am certain that the newly expanded Kinly will have a very exciting and successful future.”

Robbert Bakker, CEO of Kinly, added: “We are very excited to announce that AVMI, a leading UK based global AV integrator, will join and strengthen the Kinly team. The combination of our businesses will support our strategy to expand our international presence.

“AVMI brings an enviable track record in delivering complex enterprise projects globally and providing operational and service excellence. Kinly offers best in class video collaboration solutions and unparalleled product expertise in remote management, video cloud solutions and adoption services.

“This powerful combination will also bring new opportunities and career prospects for our people in an exciting environment. I very warmly welcome the AVMI team on board and I am convinced that our teams across the globe will jointly create even more value for our customers.”
