Mistika is an outstanding enhancement to our facility and it will be the very centre of our pipeline. Our creativity will definitely benefit from using Mistika for colour grading and high-end finishing project work. It is the solution we have been looking for and is definitely unrivalled, unique but at the same time compatible with other systems, which is a distinct advantage.”

Mattias Bergkvist, Chief Executive Officer adds “The relationship with SGO was also a very important part of our decision to build an infrastructure around Mistika. The team at all levels demonstrated their total commitment and passion for delivering great technology and an outstanding customer experience, which was confirmed, when speaking to other Mistika customers across the globe. Mistika clearly performs extremely well now but it is vital to work with a company that is constantly developing and innovating so that we can provide long term future-proof solutions for our customers.”

Geoff Mills, Director of SGO Global Sales & Operations says “We are delighted to welcome Europa Sound & Vision as a new customer in the Scandinavian market, which is rapidly opening up, and eager to embrace SGO’s advanced technology.
