AV Stumpfl has opened a London office exclusively dedicated to PIXERA, the company’s real-time media server platform.

The vibrant creative scene in London in particular played an important part in the Austrian company’s decision to bolster the PIXERA presence in the UK.

“Our local roots in Austria are very strong, but we have always had a global mindset with regards to our vision for the worldwide PIXERA community,” said PIXERA executive director Harry Gladow. “Opening a new office in such a creative entertainment hotspot makes absolute sense, now that our user community has grown so much that we need the local presence to support our organic growth strategy in the UK.”

The PIXERA office in Uxbridge, London, will be run by its new UK managing director and industry veteran, Craig Harrower.

According to the company, Harrower has helped realize prestigious international AV projects featuring advanced media server technology for over a decade. “When PIXERA 1.0 was released in 2019, there was a lot of scepticism in the UK market as to whether the industry really needed another approach to media server systems,” he said. “Four years later, the answer is a resounding yes, and I am looking forward to helping our fast-growing UK user community realize their full potential.”
