Manufacturing, Production and Distribution
Post Production, VFX and Animation Following the rapid shift to digital production since 2010, the Company has downsized or transferred Digital Cinema distribution, Media Services and photochemical films activities. 2017 activities were focused on picture and sound post production services and on VFX and Animation services. For more information, please refer to section 1.2.1.1 “Production Services” of this Registration Document. Set Top Boxes, Gateways, and Connected Devices In 2017, Technicolor shipped a total of about 42.9 million modems and gateways, Set-Top Box, and other Connected Devices. Overall, around 8.5 % of the Group’s total volume has been manufactured in-house, with the rest of its volumes being outsourced to partners in Asia, Mexico and Argentina.
Technicolor’s manufacturing, production, and distribution facilities accounted for 89.5% of its facilities space, at the end of 2017. The location of each significant facility can be found in the table above. Technicolor’s respective business segments have varying approaches to performing these activities; each is discussed in turn below. DVD Replication and Distribution [G4-EN30] [G4-DMA Transport] GRI Global distribution and supply chain activities are provided in-house and through a network of contracted Third-Party Logistic Providers (3PLs). In markets where distributed unit volumes are sufficient, Technicolor completes all distributions and logistics activities in-house. In smaller markets, or where other considerations prevail, these activities are completed by 3PL’s on Technicolor’s behalf. In North America and Australia, the Group distributed 100% in-house; in Europe, approximately 67% in-house and approximately 33% by 3PL’s.
