ABOUT CINEVERSUM
 Cineversum initially was conceived as the dedicated consumer brand for famed Belgian video manufacturer Barco. In September, 2004, Technic Electronic Conseil (T.E.C.) took over worldwide distribution of Barco’s home theater business, including the Cineversum name. T.E.C. is based in the Montmartre district of Paris, France.
Led by French industry veteran and pioneer Jean-Claude Younes, T.E.C. has successfully developed the Cineversum Home Cinema Concept. In close cooperation with partners such as Barco, Cineversum has steadily built a range of cutting-edge video products for the professional home theater market and are distributing them worldwide through a network of specialist distributors.
The Cineversum line is the perfect complement to the premium brands already in the StJohn Group portfolio of design-first brands.
