FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Moving iMage Technologies to Acquire Caddy Products
Join us at ShowEast 2018, Lowes Miami Beach Hotel
Fountain Valley, California – October 16, 2018
Moving iMage Technologies (MIT) has signed an agreement to acquire the assets of Caddy Products Inc. (Caddy). Caddy Products® are utilized in over 270,000 facilities throughout more than 91 countries worldwide. Their markets include cinema, sports, grocery, performing arts, worship and retail industries. Products include patented cup holders, trays and advertising displays. Jim Winebarger, Director, Caddy Products, said, “I’m excited to be part of the MIT family and look forward to expanding and growing the Caddy Products offerings.”
Caddy was originally started in 1989 by Phil Rafnson, Chairman of MIT, as a division of MTS (Media Technology Source). MTS was sold in 1999, and in 2002 Caddy was spun off in a sale to Phil Rafnson, who brought in Peter Bergin as a partner. Phil later sold control and eventually all of his interest to Peter in 2014. MIT is acquiring Caddy Products from Peter’s estate, following his tragic death early this year. Phil commented “Peter did a great job building Caddy into a substantial business, and we plan to continue his policies of top-quality products and excellent customer service, while growing Caddy into a powerhouse in its markets.”
