VMIX Expands into UK

After hiring a new CEO in May and securing an additional $2.5 million in financing in September, San Diego’s VMIX appears to be taking the first steps in a new strategy. VMIX, which provides Web-based software used by customers to manage their online video clips, said it’s opening VMIX offices in London and Glasgow, Scotland. In a statement from the company, VMIX CEO Pat Burns said the launch of VMIX UK is the first stage in a plan to establish itself as a global provider, and to extend the reach of its online video technology. “Establishing a presence in the UK allows us to build personal relationships with our European-based clients and partners, and provides critical insight into the growing online-video integration market there,” Burns said.
