For his part, Minet is eager to build on the success Chauvet has enjoyed in Europe. "This is a wonderful opportunity," he said. "Chauvet has established itself as a leader in our industry. The company has a well-deserved reputation for quality and for advancing technology in new ways. I am excited to be part of a team that places such an emphasis on innovation."
