A BRIEF HISTORY
Founded in 1983, Powersports · Powerdocs was established as a distributor in
the video market of motorsport videos. Following a series of hits in this
arena the company initiated its international distribution network, and
broadened its video line for domestic distribution. The new line consisted
of general release titles, which included documentary programs, sports,
specials, cartoon and children's programming, special interest video and
feature films.
The line was also altered to appeal to a broader audience and the tastes of
the international marketplace. While not forgetting its roots in sports
programs, the catalog was expanded to include more documentaries dealing
with cultural, historical, ethnological, natural or political issues and
programs of different genres. As its international activity grew,
Powersports · Powerdocs commenced the distribution of external producers'
programs/series, as well as becoming involved in co-productions projects.
POWERSPORTS - POWERDOCS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
Over the past twenty years Powersports Powerdocs has also become one of the
largest independent distributors of television in the Middle East region.
Opening satellite branches in the UAE and in Lebanon, Powersports is a major
pipeline for content in many territories in the region, offering a wide
variety of television programming including: travel, technology, nature,
lifestyle, animation, feature films, sports and reality, among others.
Powersports · Powerdocs also owns a constantly increasing slate of original
programming, which represents approximately one-third of the programs it
distributes. Usually the company's productions are specials or unique
subject matter, which never competes with the other titles we distribute.
Powersports · Powerdocs has produced 50-70 annual programming hours for
several years.
Today, the source of most of Powersports revenues is derived from
international licensing. The company has maintained its client relationships
that were formed with its establishment. Beyond that, Powersports -
Powerdocs has built new alliances and long-term distribution agreements with
major and specialty distributors to individually target the best venues for
each property. In addition, Powersports · Powerdocs heavily distributes its
videos domestically via direct marketing through television and magazine
advertisements (some of our programs have sold over 450,000 units to date
and are still selling) and mail-order catalogs.
Over the past few years, Powersports · Powerdocs has grown to become a
prominent player in international distribution with its client base
consisting of 7,000 names and spans 120 territories. Powersports · Powerdocs
offers the flexibility of an independent producer and distributor while
keeping the standards and servicing of a major. For that reason, the company
has been successful in working with firms as varied as our product line -
from the largest entertainment conglomerates to the smallest distributors.
We have also been pioneers in the world's emerging markets and developing
technology.
Our organization and flexibility have allowed us to continuously adapt our
marketing strategy and place ourselves according to the dynamics and
changing demands of the international marketplace.
