Ross Video grows despite Covid-19


OTTAWA — Video production technology manufacturer Ross Video today announced the company grew 3.9% year over year, marking its 29th consecutive year of growth.

Given the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, Ross Video calls this year’s growth an “unexpected result” and CEO David Ross thanked the company’s customers, business partners and staff in a press release issued today. The company (pictured is its Iroquois, Ont., headquarters) is privately held and not publicly traded, so no further breakdown was given.

“This has obviously been an immensely challenging year for our customers, business partners and Ross,” says David Ross, in the press release. “In my lifetime I’ve never seen anything like this hit humanity on such a universal scale.

“Like every industry, live production has had to adapt and I’m very proud of the way our team has handled the challenges thrown at us throughout the pandemic. We’ve had to make lots of adjustments on the fly, helping our customers maintain their businesses, complete projects successfully and implement new work from home remote production solutions. We have all been forced to think differently and try out new workflows,” adds Ross.

“Another year of growth would normally be something to celebrate, but that will have to wait. We’re hoping that 2021 will see a vaccine and then we can start to put Covid-19 behind us. In the meantime, however, we will continue ‘business unusual’, bringing new technology that can help deliver safer work from home remote productions.

“Thank you to our customers, business partners and our team for their creativity, perseverance and dedication over the past year. Here’s to better times ahead,” says Ross.
