ECCO Cine Supply and Service GmbH, a leading supplier and integrator of innovative cinema solutions, has reached an agreement with Mars Cinema Group (a Turkish cinema circuit) to install and service D-BOX Technologies Inc cinematic motion systems in two multiplex theatres in Istanbul.
Under the agreement, ECCO will deliver a total of 80 D-BOX motion seats to Cinemaximum Akbati, located in the up-and-coming North-East neighbourhood of Instanbul, and Cinemaximum Akasya, situated in the university district on the Asian side.
The order consists of two technologically innovative D-BOX solutions: The first is the D-BOX MFX 132-EU motion seat which was specially created to suit the needs of European consumers with the help of Euro Seating, an internationally renowned company.

And the second part of the order is the D-BOX VIP Recliner motion base which adapts to the recliner seat for extra comfort, generating a more intense experience in a personalized, reclined position. In fact, the leg and back positions are electronically adjustable for the ultimate in relaxation. What’s more, D-BOX utilizes elaborate electronics and wider surface movements to create even finer and more impulsive creative effects.
The installation is scheduled to be completed by the end of July in time for the national movie premiere of Bourne. Additional locations are scheduled to follow at the end of 2016.
