Chris Trapp, former president of Charter Films and now Charter NEX Films president and chief operating officer, added: ‘With NEX, we have found the right company to partner with. 

 

‘Both companies have worked hard to establish themselves as high quality film manufacturers who pride themselves on being responsive to our customers.’
