Two Industry Leaders Team Up to Transform Outdoor Entertainment

Intrepid today announced that its client, SunBrite Holding Corporation (SunBriteTV), a manufacturer of premium outdoor TV displays and digital signage solutions for residential and commercial applications, was acquired by SnapAV, a manufacturer and exclusive distributor of installation-friendly audio, video and CCTV products to residential and commercial A/V integrators.

“SunBriteTV pioneered the outdoor television category and has become the market leader behind its reputation for providing the highest quality all-weather, outdoor TVs to the residential, commercial and digital signage markets. We appreciate the opportunity to represent Bunker Hill and SunBriteTV in this important process, and we believe SunBriteTV is poised for transformational growth under the ownership of SnapAV,” said Gary Rabishaw, Managing Director and Co-Head of the Commercial & Consumer Technology practice at Intrepid.

“Intrepid’s Commercial & Consumer Technology team demonstrated a deep understanding of SunBriteTV’s value drivers and the unique characteristics of the CEDIA distribution channel. They ran a highly professional and robust process, finding a compelling strategic acquirer for SunBriteTV and achieving a great result for the shareholders,” said Brian Kinsman, Managing Partner at Bunker Hill Capital.

“Our practice is devoted to working with the leading companies in the consumer and professional electronics markets. SunBriteTV spanned both markets and we are pleased to have found the perfect partner that will accelerate SunBriteTV’s growth,” commented Adam Abramowitz, Managing Director and Co-Head of the Commercial & Consumer Technology practice at Intrepid.

In 2004, SunBriteTV launched the world’s first true outdoor TV. SunBriteTV models are designed, engineered and assembled in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The company enjoys a reputation for toughness and durability as their TVs last for years in some of the harshest climates in North America—positioning SunBriteTV as the No. 1 brand among the CE Pro 100. SunBriteTV is also the outdoor TV of choice for many professional sports stadiums, including Yankee Stadium, Gillette Stadium, Wrigley Field, Soldier Field, Marlins Park and many others.
