NEC’s digital cinema projector, the STARUS NC2500S was named 2007’s “Best New Product or Service” at the awards ceremony held in June in New York City. Stevies were presented in more than 70 categories, including “Best Overall Company,” “Best Executive,” and “Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program.” More than 2,000 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration.
Kurt Schwenk, general manager, and Peter Nicholas, director of projector sales, Digital Cinema Division of NEC Corporation of America, were presented the award before a packed ballroom. In accepting the Stevie, Kurt said, “We are honored to be recognized for our STARUS digital cinema projector. This is an exciting time for digital cinema, and it is a great accomplishment to have our product recognized by this important organization as an innovative and cutting-edge technology.”
