“At Caribbean Cinemas we base our partnerships on trust and reliable performance of a company’s products. We firmly believe GDC is one of the most trusted names in the cinema industry with very reliable products,” said Robert Carrady, President of Caribbean Cinemas. “Extending our relationship was based upon our experience with GDC and Strong. Both have exceptional post-sales support, a history of innovation and a passion to continually improve the movie going experience for our guests.”

“We are delighted to continue our long-term partnership with Caribbean Cinemas,” said Annie Wang, President of GDC Technology (USA) LLC. “We have had the pleasure of their partnership over the past 12 years now and that relationship will continue to grow as they continue to provide their customers with the best, “state of the art” presentation for years to come in the markets they serve now and in the future”.
