Bill Groener Rejoins PRG
Production Resource Group (PRG) has announced that Bill Groener, a long-time industry veteran and former general manager of PRG's northeast U.S. lighting operations, has rejoined the company as vice president and general manager of its Systems Integration Group.
Groener left PRG in early 2004 to help Color Kinetics, an important PRG supplier, launch a series of new initiatives designed to increase and expand its sales and distribution of LED lighting products in North America.
"It's great to have Bill back," proclaimed Jere Harris, PRG's Chairman and CEO. "New technologies are having a big impact on permanently installed lighting systems, and Bill has acquired a tremendous depth of experience with them."
"This is a very exciting time in the entertainment industry," added Groener. "Every week, new technologies are being introduced that promise to deliverever increasing performance from lighting products. I look forward to helping PRG's clients evaluate both new and existing technologies and provide solutions that best meet their unique needs." Groener's return to PRG will allow Anne Johnston, who led PRG's Integrated Systems Group during 2004, to refocus her attention on the marketing of new technologies being introduced by PRG. For the past two decades, Johnston has spearheaded many of PRG's efforts to introduce new technologies into the marketplace, including large format projection systems, lighting control systems, LED lighting technologies, and PRG's proprietary media servers.
"These changes come at a great time for us," stated Rusty Brutsché, PRG's vice chairman and chief technology officer. "We're always looking for ways to offer our clients unique value through technical innovations, and it's good to know we've got two of the industry's best people in place to help our clients take advantage of them."
Groener and Johnston will both be based in PRG's North Bergen, New Jersey, office.
