SCN: What prompted you to establish IHSE USA?
Manny Patel: When I started IHSE USA in 2009, it was a simple handshake agreement where my company and IHSE would each contribute 50% to the startup cost. IHSE Germany was already doing some business in the U.S. but wanted to expand name recognition. I took the role of president and CEO of the newly formed IHSE USA. I saw a specific niche opening for digital KVM systems used in broadcasting and production environments. Since that time, we’ve sold thousands of systems to TV broadcasters, video production studios, and news networks, and have partnered with some of largest manufactures in the industry for their backroom software and hardware development teams.
