“We are excited about rolling out Vista, a state-of-the-art system that can handle all of our business requirements and support us in delivering memorable experiences to Cinemagoers,” says Ahmad Al-Osaimi, CEO of KNCC.

“We are delighted to be able to partner with the Kuwait National Cinema Company,” says Mischa Kay, Vista’s Managing Director, EMEA. “We are already planning the support and assistance to KNCC that we provide to ensure that they can take full advantage of our world leading product and we look forward to working with them as their business expands.”
