Scottsdale, Ariz., July 7, 2006 – NuVision U.S., Inc, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based advanced LCD TV and HDTV manufacturer, is proud to announce that it has appointed 30-year industry veteran Charles H. Boornazian Vice President - Sales. Boornazian comes to NuVision from Marantz America, where he spent the past eight years as the company’s V.P. - Sales.

“As the HDTV market continues its dramatic growth, we are extremely pleased to have an industry pro such as Charlie lead NuVision’s sales efforts,” said Scott Deley, NuVision President & CEO. “Charlie’s years of experience with leading international consumer electronics manufacturers and his intimate knowledge of the North American A/V specialty and custom install sales channels give NuVision the ability to most effectively address these channels.”

Boornazian joins LCD TV manufacturer NuVision after spending the past 11 years with Marantz America, where he was the company’s National Sales Manager, and then promoted to V.P. – Sales. Prior to Marantz, Boornazian spent two years with JBL Consumer Products as Director of Home Audio Sales, five years with Carver Corporation as a regional sales manager, five years as a manufacturer’s representative with one of New England's largest consumer electronics rep firms, and seven years consumer electronics retail management experience. Under his sales leadership, Marantz blossomed into one of the most respected A/V brands in North America with a strong, solid distribution base.

“NuVision is quite unique in its dedication to building a superior product while at the same time specifically targeting the CEDIA custom install channel and high-end A/V specialty retailers who demand as much performance from the manufacturer as they do from the product,” said Boornazian. “This business plan and marketing strategy has opened many eyes and has quickly earned the company a great deal of interest. I am proud to bring my experience to NuVision and help grow the company for years to come.”
