Paris, France, April 2nd, 2019 — Volfoni Limited, the leading European provider of 3D technology, announced today that Cinépolis, the largest cinema exhibitor in Latin America and fourth largest cinema exhibitor in the world, has selected Volfoni as its new 3D provider for their new cinema complexes in Bahrain, Oman, and Argentina.
Cinépolis has gained a lot of traction, rapid growth, and recognition for its state of the art and luxury theatres around the world, proving that choosing nothing but the best in technology would place them amongst the moviegoers’ top choices.
All of Cinépolis’ new cinema complexes use a combination of SmartCrystal NEO and the award-winning SmartCrystal Diamond that provides the best light efficiency and image sharpness of all 3D solutions available in the market today. “We are very honored to have been selected by a cinema chain that prizes what is best in technology and demands a great and immersive experience for all of its patrons. Our products deliver such an experience and we are thrilled to collaborate in such great projects”, says Ms. Paula Silveira, VP of Business Development in Volfoni Americas.

The same standard will be used in Oman’s Avenues Mall and other future multiplexes in the region.
In Argentina, with the alliance together with Village Cines, Cinépolis’ growth plans continue and follow the same standard of excellence. “Volfoni’s business model and continuous focus on high quality and easy to operate systems was key in the decision to use their technology”, says, Mr. Gabriel Morales, Cinépolis’ Global Technology Director.
