Kortrijk, Belgium, 21-Jan-2016 — /EuropaWire/ — Headed by Mr. Wynand Langenhoven, who’s also the Chairman of SACIA, the South African association of the audio-visual (AV) industry, Peripheral Vision is renowned across South-Africa for its in-house expertise in all aspects of AV applications. More than distributing products from the world’s leading manufacturers, the company also provides resellers and integrators with extensive training and support services, to ensure they can deliver the most state-of-the-art solutions. “South Africa’s demand for AV solutions is growing at a rapid pace. We offer our customers the highest-quality solutions to cater to that demand,” says Wynand Langenhoven. “Barco’s high-end offering definitely meets our stringent criteria for quality, innovation, support, etc.”

One-stop-shop for all markets
