Blu Digital Group opens Facility in Barcelona

Blu Digital Group recently announced its latest milestone in its European expansion, the inauguration of a facility in Barcelona, Spain. The company has appointed Ramon Martos Calvo has been recruited to be the Managing Director of the new facility. "Ramon brings exceptional expertise in digital transformation within the content distribution industry in the Spanish region," stated Paulette Pantoja, CEO of Blu Digital Group. "Considering his outstanding track record and strong industry relationships, it was evident that he is the perfect candidate to oversee the establishment and expansion of our new facility in this crucial region, driving the growth of Blu's extensive range of products and services. We are absolutely delighted to welcome him to our esteemed senior management team."

Neighboring the Rambla de Catalunya, the facility will extend the reach of Blu's extensive, award-winning range of content distribution, localisation, post-production, and media management services. Martos joins Blu Digital Group as the Managing Director of Spain. In this role, he will be tasked with expanding Blu's award-winning products and services throughout the region. With his extensive experience in the Spanish M&E industry, he will contribute knowledge from his seventeen-year tenure at Deluxe Entertainment Services Spain, where he successfully revitalized the business as its Managing Director, propelling it to become the leading player in the Spanish market.

Blu Digital Group's European presence now spans facilities in Greece, Denmark, Spain, and the UK.  The Barcelona facility will serve as a central hub for content distribution, localisation and post-production work, designed to meet the diverse needs of the Spanish and global markets. "We're excited to offer our innovative software and services to Spanish media companies, streamlining their operations and broadening their audience reach," Pantoja said. "Our new Barcelona facility is strategically situated in the vibrant L'Eixample neighborhood, close to the commercial district Plaça de Catalunya, making it ideal for our clients and team."

This Barcelona office opening follows hot on the heels of the London office inauguration in early May, which delivers an extensive range of content distribution, media management, post-production, localization, and distribution services to existing and new clients in the region. The London office also serves as the European headquarters for the company's cloud-based software division. The company has experienced rapid growth in recent years, thanks to strategic acquisitions such as Dicentia Studios in Denmark, which established a media management and localisation hub for Northern Europe, and Haymillian, which expanded Blu's presence in Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. Additionally, the acquisition of Central Post LA, a renowned audio recording facility in Hollywood, has significantly enhanced Blu's English dubbing capabilities."The launch of our new Barcelona facility demonstrates our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service and cutting-edge solutions to media and entertainment clients in Spain and across Europe. It reaffirms our dedication to revolutionizing the industry worldwide with top-tier technology and expertise," Pantoja said.
