March 28, 2023

Rome, March 27, 2023 – Arte Video, a subsidiary of ILBE – Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment – has been awarded the “Apple Preferred Encoding House” certification for the second year in a row, an international Apple iTunes recognition dedicated to technology companies operating in the film and television industry, demonstrating high quality standards. Arte Video is one of only three companies in the world to be awarded the “Preferred” certification.

Volume of films handled and absence of errors in deliverables the two main criteria that determined the awarding of the certification: Arte Video demonstrated the ability to handle 100 films every three months and delivered 100% of the films without any technical error in the last four months. The annual average of technical error is less than 2%. Goal for next year: to become “Preferred Plus.” A challenging goal, since one of the key criteria is the ability to handle up to 400 films each quarter, complex volumes to achieve for the Italian market.

“We are proud to have again reached this important milestone.” – Andrea Iervolino, CEO of Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment, commented. “With Arte Video we wanted to expand to cover most of the production stages, and this certification proves not only the validity of our choice, but also that, once again, Italy is home to excellence.”

“I am especially proud to have received this certification.” – Added Giuseppe Tissino, CEO of Arte Video – “an achievement made possible thanks to our team – to the teamwork we carry out every day with dedication and commitment – and to the continuous technological innovation, the true pillar that drives and has always driven Arte Video development.”
